I just noticed today that after driving my, driver side hub gets very warm but the passenger side does not. Any ideas?

Bad bearing(s) or improper pre-load.

I should have described it better its just the Warn manual hub not the wheel hub, that stays super cool to the touch.

Is it unlocked? 
Maybe you've got it mounted too close to your exhaust.
I can't think of any reason the outer hub would get warm but the inner not. Strange to me.

I'm going to pull it, clean it, and re-lube it later.

That's about all you can do. Remember not to pack the outer (locking) hub with grease, it's only in there to keep the parts freed up. It doesn't take much.

I'm just pulling the locking hub, I greased the wheel bearings when I did balljoints earlier this week.

Is it that the other parts are very cool, or is it that the steel parts are dissipating heat faster than the plastic parts and feel cool?

disc brake on one side dragging? transferring heat to hub?
