Brake sticking.
Drove my truck about 40 miles today and when I got out I could smell brakes burning, and the drivers front wheel had smoke coming out from the rotor and caliper. I let it sit about 20 minutes and then drove it home, when I got home the wheel was cool to the touch, What would be causing this, I first thought brake hose but it wouldn't just stop holding pressure and work fine coming home would it. I dont know how to tell if its the hose or caliper.

Finally got a chance to look at it, the caliper slide were free and had been greased recently. I cleaned them and regreased them but I dont think that was the problem. It hasnt done it since that day. I guess if it keeps doing it Ill try a brake hose than caliper.
