Having worked with cars and electronic equipment for longer than I care to admit, I can say they have a lot in common when it comes to troubleshooting.

This is a follow-up to this thread I started back in April:
After 500 miles or more on the new brake drum, there have been no lock-up or dragging issues. And much of the driving since then has been on 95-105 degree days with a load in the bed.
I keep forgetting to check wheel center temperatures, but I'd bet they are close to the same on both sides.
So the problem followed the drum -- all the way to our recycling center!
Must have been that t-shooting skill I learned as an electronics technician.
