Started to a rally in July, got about 20 miles and stopped to check wheel temps. Three of four rear drums were above 350d. There was no issue with front discs. I have never before seen over 150d. I returned home and rears seemed to be adjusted to tight (don't know how or why). I am pretty anal about checking and no prior indications have been noted.
I pulled one, RRF, and it seemed to be opening and closing as it should. I backed off all adjusters until just barely a scrape could be heard. I did a test run today, 11/7,. Initial readings were ok. On returning home, I checked them again and got the following readings: LF -500d, RF - 500d, RRF - 200d, RRR - 113d, LRF - 260d, and LRR - 200. Current mileage is 96836.
History:
Mar. 2016 at the Dothan GMC rally, I found out that my master cylinder to booster plate had been flattened out. Removed it and replaced with the correct one with a bend in it. Pedal was higher.
Sept. 2013 at 88400 miles, I replaced the master cylinder, the boogie flex lines, and installed 80 mm calipers and new hoses.
Sept. 2012 at 85285 miles, I rebuilt rear drum brakes with shoes, cylinders and spring sets.
I would appreciate any ideas on what is going on.
