Default 99 ram front passenger break locks up

hi i have a 99 dodge ram 1500, the front passenger side break locks up no matter how hard i touch the break. even after i shut the truck off it stays locked. i have changed the calipers, break pads and the steal hoses going from the master cyilinder to the distributer. that stopped the driver side break from locking now only the passenger side break only does...... it makes my truck steer harshly to the right and makes my truck work harder to get up to speed. does anyone know what could be the problem??? any imput would be helpfull. thanks

Contaminated linings will grab but they shouldn't lock like that. Pull the caliper, clean the linings and rotor and GREASE THE PINS.
