I have a 2011 gmc sierra 1500 4wd. I can’t tell if it has a sticking caliper or bad wheel bearing. No real obvious noise when driving but it’s hard to tell with mud terrains. The driver front hub is getting hot and I can smell burning brake after a long drive. The brake rotor is hot to the touch but the caliper is NOT. So that’s why I’m leaning towards a wheel hub and not the caliper.

Also front brakes were done maybe 6mo ago. Truck has 150k and wheel hubs have never been done.
