Gentlemen, while odds are odds and guesses are guesses I would not reject the chance of a bad "NEW" part. I have ran into new bearing assemblies (for a 91 Olds Tornado) in beautiful Temkin boxes that the bearing assembly's were not marked with any name or number. One was stamped made in Spain. They did look good and did fit well and drive smooth but were in my mind "suspicious".. Temkin bearings are no longer available locally in E Tenn for the GMC rears and I had to use National bearings on the last set I installed last month.
The owner did state that brakes and lines and bearings and springs were new but did not mention emergency brake cables. I have seen many old cables not return completely after use. I even recommend not using the emergency brake unless known good for that reason. He also stated he had been checking the temps with ir every 200 miles with no abnormal readings for 1000 miles. It is my understanding he had just spent the night in a public parking lot and no temp issues when he parked.

I'm with ROB,

Bearings set too tight or they forgot to grease them.
