Hello, I'm Ace. I replaced all my rotors calipers and sensors also brakes on my vehicle listed above. On my dash it says traction control and service stability. When it does my truck reduces speed and my front right wheel start smoking and when I slow down to about 5 miles My pedal bzzzzzzz and skip sputter when I stop. Sometimes it stall in traffic forcing me to turn on my hazard lights then all of a sudden it jump and catch on like nothing ever happen.

Good morning,

This sounds like the brake hose collapsed and is not allowing the caliper to release the brake pads. This is a very common issue for this problem. I attached the procedure for you to view for the procedure. I would flush the entire system of all fluid. Bad fluid is the main cause of this failure.

Hopefully, the overheating of the wheel has not damaged the rotor and pads on that wheel.
