You need to open the bleeder on the caliper and see if the drag goes away. If it does you have a hydraulic problem. If not the problem is in the calipers them selves. Get a overhaul kit for them. Remember the the oring flex is what help pull the pistons back in when the brake pressure is released. If you have a hydraulic problem most likely it is the master cyclinder or the brake pedal linkage binding. There is a small chance it could be the rear brake hose. To test the brake hose open the brake line at the master cyclinder for the rear brakes is the brakes are still dragging you have a brake hose problem. Hope things are going well see you in Houston?

Depending on their age you may want to replace the pads and seals especially since you're having a problem. With new pads, etc, make sure the calipers are aligned perfectly. I had to shim mine to prevent them from draging on one side while the other had plenty of clearance. The alignment is not necessarly correct due to varances in the mfg and vehicle. The varance was so slight I used shim stock to move the caliper into alignment.
