Hope this helps I had that once and went back
They checked, and it was the wrong rotors they where to thick. I realized something was wrong
When they where to tight so I took them off
And took them back...

Sounds quite likely with some of the amazing "parts guys" out there now. I swear sometimes I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than go to a parts store and listen to them tell me what the computer says.
I remember I went to a parts store after buying my EB and they tried to tell me "there is no way that truck has THAT motor" just cause the computer didn't show it yet. Haven't been back to that store since.

Thats what i was thinkin i went back online and i did double check all the part numbers they say their right is it possible that the slides on the bracket didnt get enough grease? It went away a little bit but now i feel a pulse down the freeway it feels like a flatspot but it wasnt there before i cant tell but it kinda seems like its dragging and causing the fast pulse from the drivers side

Sounds like a caliper is sticking. Your brakes will never actually leave the rotor at anytime they will always drag just a bit but not enough to be dragging like what you are talking about. They shouldn't be smoking. Should they make quite a bit of brake dust, yes but that should tone down before a 100 miles. May just be as easy as taking them back off and readjusting. Just an educated guess.
