i replaced the rotors, calipers, pads, balljoints with new ones. i re used the old master cylinder, proptioning valve and brake booster.
im pretty sure that its not normal to be hot at all considering that i went no more than 2 miles. when i had the truck jacked up (before i test drove it), i could barely turn over the rotor by hand on the passenger side, and the drivers side was pretty tight too.
Did it pull when you applied the brakes? If so the left caliper is hung up. recheck all of the parts, and ask the parts supplier for a left caliper
