Still have the same problem though so I'll probably get a set of the NAPA calipers. There's also quite a big difference in pad material left vs right, even if the caliper was working fine (now) would the difference in the pad thickness still cause this? I drove it around quite a bit and tried to bed in the left side but it didn't seem to improve... If I get new calipers I'll have to get pads anyway.

The difference in pad thickness is a result of the caliper dragging. Those pin sliders really don't restrict anything. Not like my old Exploder. Get some calipers and pads and go from there and get out from underneath that truck. I'm sure you have better things to do.
