I've seen some articles here about brake drag, but none of them described what the problem ended up being. I'm in need of some assistance. I have a 2013 Ram 3500 4x4 w/ 6.7l Cummins w/ around 35k miles (not my daily driver). I put a 2" leveling kit and 35" x 12.5" on the stock rims a couple years ago. The passenger side front caliper smoked several months ago. Doing the research, I replaced the caliper and both rubber hoses. To me, the brake pads and rotor still looked good. With the new caliper, there is noticeable drag. I also replaced the brake fluid using a hand held vacuum pump. I took it to the Dodge dealer and they couldn't figure it out either. They told me that they recommended me to replace the caliper again just to be sure. I recently did this and it seems that the drag is worse. All of the other three brakes seem to work just fine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
