I replaced the brake caliper about 2 months ago it was stuck and over heating. Now same thing is happening. What could be causing this before I replace the caliper again.

Signs of a bad disc brake caliper and items to check include:
*When your disc brake caliper is worn you will often hear a squeaky or squealing sound that should not be ignored. In addition, your brake pads will often vibrate when you are trying to stop your vehicle.
* Difficulty pushing the brake pedal is a frequent sign that the disc brake caliper is out of alignment.
* Drivers may experience the vehicle pulling to one side while braking.
* Excessive heat or smoke coming from the wheel area.
