brake calipers replacement?

I had to replace both rear calipers at 68K but i heard they are a crappy design and go quick.
Today I am driving along and when I hit the brakes the front right starts pulling on me at 75k? Are the fronts known to be headaches too?
This is on an 01 250.

Check out Guzzles site on cleaning and servicing them (http://guzzle.rbmicro.com/). That will probably fix you up.

I think your caliper pins are sticking on your truck. I changed my brakes this last weekend and greased the pins. Look at this link.
