Emergency brake problem?

[green96stroker]

I have a 1996 F-250, after I drive 10 or more miles the lug nuts and rim on the driver side rear wheel got hot to the touch. But only after I use the emergency brake. I bought the truck from a Ford dealership in Oct. 2006, and they put a new emergency brake cable on it the day before I bought it, and it doesn't seem too tight. After I use the emergency brake when I drive off there is a slight squeek from that wheel. The truck has a manual transmission so I do need the emergency brake every once in a while.

You need to adjust the brake cable as it is not adjusted properly and it is sticking also may need to lube it up as well at the rear brakes

I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens. Thank you
