rim gets hot

[loom383]

I have been working on my 95 gmc pickup and after taking it for a quick spin I notice that the LF rim is hot to the touch, but no other rims are. Any clue what might be causing this? Any help you be appreciated. thanks!

Possible warped brake rotors? Are you running large tires? Mine did they before I changed the rotors, still stock size rotors, but haven't been warped yet.

Is it possible to "unstick" it or do I need to replace it?

I would replace it, sometime they free up,but down the road it can happen again

agree with Scott usually when a caliper sticks it will do that, had the same thing happen on a boat trailer and my gpas 65 chevy replaced caliper and it fixed it.
