How much do you drive the truck unloaded vs. loaded?
If mostly unloaded and you load the camper and slam on the brakes, the piston in the caliper is travelling to a spot it likely has never been before. It doesn't take much for the piston o-ring to grab or lock onto a bit of trash.
How does the truck handle braking now? Does it feel like it is pulling to the side?
Did you have a recall on the front suspension, to align it then weld it in place?
The miles on the truck are 96% loaded (and almost all highway) and 4% unloaded, so this might be a good theory. The braking handling other then this one incident is fine (good, never a problem). No pulling to the side. There has been no front suspension recall.
