Default Front Brake Problem

I have a 2005 f150 with about 77k on it. I recently replaced both front calipers because the one on the drivers side was sticking due to the rubber boot around the pistons braking down and letting trash inside. I noticed the boots on the passenger side were the same way so i replaced the entire caliper on both sides hoping to prevent a future problem. Everything was fine for a few weeks, but now the passenger side is sticking. I took the caliper back off, cleaned everything, re-greased the pins and bled the brakes. Everything seemed good for a day or so, but I still have the problem. I've heard/read about problem with the rubbers hoses but i have no idea. Any ideas out there.

I read on here that you need to use CALIPER grease and only caliper grease when lubing the pins
