OK, so during my business trip, the Jeep stayed in the parking lot for about ten days, during which it rained quite often.
This morning, I fired up the Jeep for the first time since I left, and it was driving fine. As I am getting to the office, I notice the Jeep is pulliong to the right when driving, and left (HARD left!) when braking. When I got to the office, as expected, the brake was smoking hot...
So, since it is a workday, during lunch I took it to Tire Plus during my lunch break (giving the rotors time to cool down), but on the way there, everything seemed fine with the brakes running as ussual. I did notice a bit of pulling to the left, but I figured it was just that only one of the brakes was now properly bedded, so I did some hard stops to bed them properly, and then it was braking straight.
When I got there, they checked the caliper in question (the took of the tire and checked it, and, to be honest, I took a quick peek myself). The brake was not sticking, and the tire rotated freely (both sides were pretty much the same).
Then as I am returning to the office from Tire Plus, again, the brake starts sticking again. (I tried doing some hard braking to unstick it, but it is still stuck (now it is cooling in the parking lot).
I have not done anything to the Jeep except changing tires in the last month or so, so I have NO IDEA what this could be... Any clues as to what to check for? By the way, the master, booster, calipers, and flexible lines were all replaced in within the past year, so they should all be good still...
