Default Brake Question

My truck is building brake dust on the passenger front wheel much faster than the driver side front wheel. Is this a hanging caliper? Any suggestions on a fix. I know my truck makes a lot of brake dust normally, but this is very much different from one side to the other. BTW I have 39600 miles on my truck. If you have pics too would be helpful.

could be. . .one way to tell would be your truck pulling to one side under light braking.

Maybe it's slightly engaged all the time? Have you tried jacking up the front end and spinning the wheel?

No, haven't had time to work on it. I need a tire rotation anyway, maybe tomorrow I'll run it down and while they have the wheels off I'll take a look see. The roads around here are so crowned that it is always pulling one way or the other.
