Arrived in AmarilloTexas tonight from Winslow Az. Tires stayed within 10 degrees on every check which was about every hour because we had to stop for our dog as she now has to take lasix. The tag pressure was at 25 lbs I played with it moving it up to 35 lbs but the only difference was I could hear the flat spots from previous lock ups louder. It did not raise the temp so I put it back down to 25 lbs. The temps of the front axle and drive axle can be within 2 degrees of each other with the tag being no more than 10 degrees cooler. I forgot to mention yesterday that after exiting into a rest area and applying the brakes firmly I measured the temps of all six brake shoe pads and they all were 120 degrees by the time I got out and took a measurement. At this point things seem to be great. I am thinking of trying another cat scale tomorrow being sure to get the axles on separate pads instead of paying what might be an hours labor at Newell.
Will update tomorrow.
Hope someone is getting something out of this.
