more brake trouble

My 04/150 started shaking about two weeks ago.Thought i was on the rumble strip,could`nt find anything wrong,it went away.Today at hyway speed it started again.Only thing I could find was alot of heat comming from front drivers side rotor? Could the caliper "dragging" cause this kind of viberation?

If one front caliper was much hotter than the other, than you found your problem. A well known problem is the e-bake dragging causing massive shaking. Search on e-brake or my name for info.

Well, yes our trucks have had e-brake trouble, but since you said yours is from the front, not the e-brake. But yes, a dragging caliber is your culpert. Our trucks are sensitive to brake roughness and a dragging caliber will warp the rotor.
