Default Dakota 2002 Problem

I own a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport. I've been having recent problems with the front tires. During long trips the brake pads heat up which effects my driving. One time I had to pull over and I looked at the casings on the wheels and they were red and hot to the touch. I've had the brakes changed, the tires changed, and I've had the brake fluid changed as well. Has anyone had this problem....? If so do you know how to fix it....? Thanks.

Sounds like you need to replace your calipers. I replaced both of mine after screwing them up by not properly compressing the pistons. Either that or the aftermarket pads were too thick, but I don't think that was it.
