Message:
OK the other day i went to a buddy of mine who works at a car dealer. BMW to be exact, but anyway, he was going to put some tires on for me. While it was on the rack i went to spin the front tire and noticed it was very hard to turn. In fact it took alot of effort to spin the wheel. It was the same on both wheels. I don't think it's a stuck caliper because after we had the tires mounted and balanced we put them back on and the tires spun fine. Could it be my master cylinder that is holding pressure on the brakes even after the brakes are released? Also there is some vibration when i accelerate. My motor mounts need to be changed but is there anything else that could be causing the vibration? The driveshaft, u-joints are fine. My hanger bearing is a little soft, as is the transmission mount, but these are not bad. The motor mounts will be changed next week. sorry it's a little long, oh and it's a 95 x-Cab V6 Auto.

yeah, it's most likely your piston in your caliper is hanging up by sludge. It's easy to rebuild if you know how to do it. or just get a new caliper, their not much. But something is definetly hanging up on or in the caliper itself.
