Problem with the brakes

[JohnConstantine]

yesterday i noticed a problem where my truck began to slow down without me lifin off or hitting the brakes and i had to give it some more gas and pull over to see whats the problem. I noticed some heat from the wheels so i figure its a problem with the brakes and i'm looking for someone to give me an explanation?

That's freaky! Your truck slowing down on its own like that?? Sounds like your brakes might be dragging, sticking on even when you're not hitting the pedal. That heat from the wheels? Yeah thats a big clue they are overheating from rubbing too much. Could be a stuck caliper or something jacked up in the brake system. I'd get it checked quick before it messes up your ride or your day.
