Finally, the caliper on the driver's side failed.
I replaced everything: calipers, rotors, pads.
But: I have AFTER the replacement dragging brakes, I can notice it in the fuel consumption. When I replaced the rear brakes, I also flushed the brake system and filled is with new fluid. The front brakes got replaced about 6000 km ago.
Any ideas?
Thank you

yes when the rear brakes drag you will notice the truck working harder with out of sight egt's. Along with using a lot more fuel then normal.
