Default 92 Ranger passenger front brake locks up when cold
When the truck is cold..I leave the house and the first time I stop the passenger front brake totally screeches and locks up..as I keep driving it mostly seems OK

I know I replaced the rotor and discs recently maybe 10K miles ago or even less

did i install it wrong?

Maybe the caliper is dirty and needs to be rebuilt. I would just buy a new caliper, they're only like 50 bucks. Check for any type of rock or debris stuck
