My 99 GC had the "pulsing" when stopping curse. I bought rotors and pads at Autozone. Had them changed, as well as a rusty brake line. I drove the vehicle about 150 miles, some high speed expressway type miles. No problem until about the 4th day in city traffic while waiting at a red light I got a LOT of smoke rolling from the right front wheel. I had driven about 6 miles, stopped for 1 minute, drove 8 miles, stopped for 5 minutes, drove 1/2 mile when it started to smoke. I pulled over and the RF wheel was too hot to touch. Bad brake smell. About a minute / 1 kilometer before the smoke, I mentioned it seemed like the jeep wanted to slow as soon as I let off the gas, and slightly to the right. After it cooled I drove home- 2 miles and the entire under ground parking area and building above it smelled like hot brakes for ten minutes.

The next day I tried to roll it in "N", heard an initial "crack", with just a little bit of a nudge. I haven't been able to show it to the brake guy cause it won't do it again.

Anyone seen/fixed this before?

110k on the vehicle.....

first of all sounds like your calipers are locking up( VERY common ) on jeeps and dodge vehicles. normally at 5 years of age I would replace the calipers with pads. it probaly is not releasing so one side pad and rotor got exposed to some very high heat !! also never touch brakes when there smoking hot !! its worst then opening a hot radiator cap. make sure you don't forget to check clean and adjust rear brakes so your front brakes don't do ALL the work.
