Default Front Passenger side brake caliper locking up

I have a 07 4x4 Dodge Ram 1500 and the front Passenger caliper keeps locking u[ when reaching a speed of 50mpr . What would cause this? Truck has all new brake's on front.

However you are posting in the wrong section, we do not know your truck, but these are some well known facts.
