Try replacing the rubber brake lines that run between the caliper and the steel line on the frame. I have seen these come apart internally and not let the caliper release. Once replaced, be sure to bleed the brakes until you see clear fluid coming through.

You know, when we were replacing the calipers we noticed the brake lines were pretty shoddy...but me being the way I am, I decided not to replace them.
 
I'm hopeful this will fix the problem, now I just need to find a floorjack that's big enough to get the truck up!!!
 
Thanks for the info.
