brake caliper

On my 03 PSD I am having problems with the left rear rotor sticking.I've had the ford garage put a new caliper and rotor on and here it is only 15000 miles later and it is sticking again.What I do is just apply the brakes real hard a few times and that takes care of it. The truck has 60000 miles on it and replacing those parts again does not seem the answer.

I would check to make sure the slide pins are not hanging up. click here. You could also bleed the lines, to get this out of the way.

The slide pins should be extremely clean and lubed with synthetic high temp brake grease. If the caliper is not sliding it will brake on one side until the pressure forces it to center. Also check the opposite side to insure the caliper is free to slide.
