I had a humming noise and a slight clunking coming from my passenger side front. The humming I thought was a bearing, and the clunking I thought was something to do with the suspension. Found out today that my brakes were involved as well. The right front locked up on me only going forward. I can still back up. When looking at my rim I can see the caliper is digging into my rim. When it was getting loaded up onto the flat deck I saw break fluid dripping down from the booster side. When I got the truck home and got a look under the hood there is brake fluid all over the place by the booster, I can't see any broken lines and the brakes still work but are a little spungy now.
 
I had the issue, it was my calliper mounting, you can buy the kit for 8$

Well I finally got around to taking the front tire off to see what was wrong. The bottom bolt of the caliper is gone. I'm not sure if I didn't tighten it down enough, or the bolt hole on the caliper is worn out. I can still thread a bolt into it. Also my hub nuts were loose. Does anyone know the torque specs. Every thing else looks good and the bearings seem fine.
