Rockin, George is correct on feeling for hot hubs etc. I have been checking mine almost everytime we stop for a rest. They will get warm just running without using the brakes. The faster (mph) and the heavier the load, more heat. If you did a lot of braking then they will be hot. I try to slow down without brakes, going into a rest area, exhaust brake, and downshifting, etc. That way I'll know if I have a hot bearing. I always pack my wheel bearings each season, so I know what condition things are in. On my new trailer I have "Nev-r-Lube" bearings So we'll see how they go. I guess I should pull the hub and see how the brakes are doing each year. [img]smile.gif[/img]
