Ok... tomorrow I pick up another caliper to replace the one that is "bad".

A few things though that were brought up:
-They are power brakes, factory installed
-Yes, the piston will compress (with a c-clamp), but as soon as I press the brakes, they drag again.
-The bleed screws are on the top
-The brake hoses are new, and so are not twisted
-I actually have too much freeplay in the brake pedal, besides, that wouldn't cause just one wheel to drag

After I replace this caliper, again, it will be #3 on that side. I just find it kind of odd that the old caliper, and the new caliper, were both dragging. I mean seriously, what are the odds?

Luckily it is covered by warranty, so it will only cost me some time to switch it out, and not money.
