your calipers might be shot ...smae thing happened on my astro...come to find out my wife put power steering fluid in the brake master.....had to replace both calipers

Could be;

A caliper that drags, but from a binding piston, and not the slider bolts. I had that happen when the truck would get hot only.

Or

From a bad brake line. I have seen more than one factory (the flexible black) brake line collapse inside and cause the brakes to bind.

I would jack up the truck, then hit the brakes and see if the wheels spin with the same resistance.

good luck.
