They have a updated pin to prevent that from happening again. This has happened to me three times, twice in the RR and once in the RF.

I just did my front calipers yesterday. 3 out of the 4 pins were stuck. I had to give up one caliper and replace it. Stops on a dime now!

If you have to do any service on your brakes, the new caliper pins are a must. They are a vast improvement over the old style. You'll need one kit for each side. They can be had on the internet for around $17 + S&H. I got mine at the dealership for $19.

The part number is:

2C3Z-2C150-AA

Guzzle did a great write up with photos. It can be found here:

My truck has never stopped so strait, not even when it was new. I think the pins on left side must have been rusted from the go.
