Brakes problem
1999 Ford E-Series Van V12 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Vehicle is a 1999 Motor Home on a Ford E450 chassis.
Brakes function normally except in heavy stop and go traffic when the front drivers side disc brake seizes onto the rotor. Calipers have been disassembled and inspected and nothing appears to be wrong but seizing still occurs. Like to know what might be wrong

Hi there,
If the caliper piston is moving freely in the bore, I would inspect the flexible brake lines, as they may be restricted and holding pressure. It is a cheap fix to o/haul the calipers while they are off, then you will know all is well there. Start there.
