If the brakes are dragging and getting hot enough it will transfer some heat to the wheel. This is a very basic inspection that can be done. If the wheel bearings failing are creating heat they are long gone. What I meant was what would it mean if the wheels were hot, what the issue would be. Both wheel bearings are pretty new. I drove the truck to Clifton Park and back tonight with no smell of brakes. > [@Pictures of my kitty smoke sleeping with me](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pictures-of-my-kitty-smoke-sleeping-with-me/53002/15): > > You’ve replaced more parts on this (now rusted) truck than any other active member on this website. > > Ford (trucks) FTL.
