I drive 65 miles one way to work at 55-65 mph. Never feel any heat buildup from the wheels/rims or brakes. Truck doesn't seem to pull one way or the other. Not even under braking. I do catch a very faint smell from the right front when I get to work, but it's there and gone almost immediately. Not so much a hot smell like a bearing (just replaced the front ones) or dragging brakes, just odd. Reminds me of the hot Bake-O-Lite material that the old coil pack I replaced smelled like when I could see the spark on the outside of it.

Is there another emergency brake adjustment point near the pedal? I thought I read something about that at one time.
