Ah, that has the smell of the common failed brake booster. Bob's Daksy and
I already had the same thing happen. It's the brake booster

So I replaced the rotors and pads on the front of the truck about a thousand
miles ago and today while driving home one of the front's appears to have
locked up. It was smoking pretty bad and looked really hot as the grease was
bubbling. So what would cause this to happen before I start digging into it,
and am looking at replacing more then the pads and rotor on that side due to
the heat, like the caliper?
