Both passenger side calipers sticking?

After driving it a ways it was pulling. Got home and let it cool off. Both right side rims were hot while the left side was fine. What are the chances both calipers are getting stuck at the same time? It's a 2000 by the way. Is there maybe a proportioning valve that could be getting stuck? I lubed up the slides on the front one yesterday and that doesn't seem to have helped.

Thanks,
J

Only way to figure out is to pull them and compress the piston and see if it happens again. No pain, no gain. I've never heard of 2 of them going at once though.

Well I compressed the front pistons and put it back on. Pumped the brake and it seemed to release. Started the truck and pressed the pedal again and it sure seems to be locked up. Also re-lubed the slides. Sound like a stuck caliper?

Also, could it be another part besides the caliper(if both of them are doing it)?

Thanks,
