Brake Drum Temperature
Checking temps during last trip all drums were showing 126 except the kitchen side front which was showing 142. I have just repacked bearings, checked brakes, nothing dragging. Any concerns? Normal?
TIA.Thank you!

Sounds like that one might be adjusted a little bit tighter than the others. It is normal to have some differences though. Just not sure how much with these self adjusting brakes.

Depends to some extent on where you are seeing that temperature difference. If it is the outer drum where the shoes contact, it is probably one auto adjuster that has gone one more notch than the others. If this temperature difference is close to the hub where the bearings are, it could be indicating a problem that needs attention. I check the hub area and don’t recall that much difference.

Re-pack bearings necessary?
