Posting in modified because I'm on 35's with "stock" brakes. D44 rear w 10x2.5 drums and YJ cables. Front D30 with 97+ calipers. No ABS.
Issue: Damn drums are HOT! Rotors are hot! I mean wet your finger and touch the drum and *sizzle* hot. Smoke will rise from the drum or rotor after a 30 - 45 min normal stop/go drive or a 20 min highway drive. I have replaced EVERYTHING on the drums.....still gets too hot, one hotter then the other but not always the same one. Parking brake adjusted way out.....still get hot. Brakes adjusted, still gets hot. Shoes are on correctly, smaller area primary shoe is toward the front of the vehicle. Ideas and troubleshooting help? I am having the drums turned ASAP. But why the *excessive* heat on the rotors? I'm not sure what else it could be...I've replaced the entire drum innards including the wheel cylinders. I probably have *every* brake problem all at once given my luck. Can you experienced folk throw some suggestions my way? I know brakes get hot....but they shouldnt be burning under normal driving conditions.
