Funny but I had that happen on my Furd f350 on way home from a game years ago, felt it pulling hard right. First I figured the tire was going flat when got out the rim was almost smoking. Luckily i had a cooler full of water which vaporized mostly. Drove it home stopping to throw ditch water on it a couple of times as we were out in the country and no road service back then. It cooked the brake sliders and rubbers of course. I did repack the bearings also as they got a tad warm. Found a pebble wedged in the pad keeping it from releasing (bound the caliper up).

The guy had it out in 5 minutes, but he did have to take the tire off.
