Brakes Locking Up

My brakes are locking up. It is the front passenger brake at least is seems from the smoke. It opens up after driving a little. So I changed the caliper and it is still doing so. What else should i look at? The fluid seems to be flowing smoothly.

If you have two people available you can visibly check caliper while the other person presses the pedal. No ABS light on?

so...no problem bleeding the brakes when you changed the caliper?
did you check the drivers side to see if it was working. maybe you only have pass side front brakes.

No problem bleeding and caliper goes in and out . When I changed the caliper i was able to bleed fine. It seems to only happen after driving some and mostly in stop and go traffic. Abs light does go on sometimes but only when I am driving with the brakes locked on.
