Truck has been sitting for ~2 months while I was gone, finally got to drive it today. I got about 2 miles from my house, and noticed that it was pulling hard to the right. I got out and checked to make sure the front right tire was aired up, good to go. Still pulling hard, and thought I smelled something. Pulled over again, and the front right wheel was hot, a little bit of smoke coming from the brakes, and some smoke smell. So, my guess at that point was a sticking caliper. I was only a mile from the dump so I continued my way there.

About the time I arrived, my brake pedal would just go all the way to the floor, barely stopping the truck. Got into the dump, parked it, and was hitting the brake pedal. The ABS light came on. pedal acted like it wasn't even hooked to anything, just on the floor. Fluid was at the correct level, and there were no leaks.

After a couple minutes, the pedal seemed to function again normally and drove home fine.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you have a line that is coing apart internally. It will cause the caliper to stick and the petal to feel spungy, or at least it did on my 01 1500.

He might mean hose.
