Hi Folks,
I replaced my brake lines last year and have bled the system at least 3 different times and adjusted the rear brakes over and over. I just don't have the same braking that I did before replacing the lines.

Today, right after taking the coach for a spin, I measured temperatures of the disks and drums all around and I have some strange results but maybe there is a clue in here?

Front driver & passenger: 185 , 186 (degrees F)
Driver mid & rear: 220, 172
Passenger mid & rear: 95, 93 (drums just warm to the touch)

Air temp was about 65 F today.

Do I still have air in the system?
Could the passenger side cylinders be frozen?
Do I have the driver side drum brakes adjusted too tight?
And by the way, should I fiddle with the combination valve while bleeding? (I have not)

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Jim
