Brake pad sticky after 15 min run
I am not sure what is the problem but my front brake sticky after 10-15 min run. But the next morning(after cool down), its runs fine for 15 min, again the same problem. When I engage the 1st gear (manual,2.5L) and release the clutch the jeep won't move unless giving more gas than usual. I feel like heavy and something preventing from moving.Can advise me on this?
i test daily by stopping on a slope and shift to neutral. should drift right now if no drag.

Also the pads wear a groove in the caliper bracket. They need to be filled with weld and ground. Mine actually still stuck after and it took two times of lubing the area where the pads slide with sil glyde. Now they've been fine for over a year. Also clean and lube the bolts and sleeves the caliper slides on. Whatever you do, try to lube them with anti seize. It doesn't work well at all.

Try getting the problem to happen when you're on dirt. If the jeep is being held back from a sticky caliper then this should help you isolate it to which side since that tire should skid. If new soft lines dont fix your problem, you're probably dealing with a bad caliper.
