5er Brakes Squeeking

Question

So I had repacked my bearings inspected my brakes and adjusted them and replaced the magnets since they were intermittent.  After that I had a successful trip brakes worked good.  Last trip though they were sqeeeking.  Any ideas as to why?  They also seemed to be grabbing more aggressive and I had to let off on the adjustment.

Mine squealed all the time the last few years before I sold it.  Reminded me of my ex.  :(

My brakes squealed and even though they still had thickness to the shoes I replaced them. Goodbye squeal. I'm thinking I may have gotten them too hot sometime and they glazed over. You could try taking your drums back off and giving the brakes a light sanding and see if that helps. Or - you could replace the brake shoes.

My truck and trailer breaks squeal after I go over a dusty road. It stops by itself or after I run through a car wash.
