hot wheels

[Tractorat]

I just pulled my camper trailer up a few steep hills to make sure the new injection pump wont light up the 0216 code. Im OK there. But, I noticed when I got back that one of the wheels on my trailer is about 100 degrees hotter than the other wheels. Could that be a break hanging up ? Other ideas ?



Thanks,

TRat

I use a point and shoot temp gun to look at the hubs and brake drums..... If you seeing hubs that are 100* warmer... than you better check the torque on the bearings and the grease in the bearings... . or



If you have a break hanging up..... this brake drum will be hotter and that heat will transfer into the hub... ... . or if you don't have a brake functioning on one side and you do on the other side... . the side where the brake works will be hotter... .



In any case if its been a while since any of this was checked..... I'd take them apart and inspect them... ... Hope this helps...

You might need to repack your wheel bearings

Good luck
