Anyone check the temperature of their brakes
Are there any of you that have checked the temperature of your disk brakes after 30 or 45 minutes of heavy use. Are the front and rear disk about the same temperature and what temperature were they?

My tire monitor (Tire Protector USA...there are may companies)also monitors the temp. This summer when my aux brake got caught up I was warned when the temp was 180 and smoke was coming off the front brakes. No immediate damage, got to finish the vacation, but I needed a brake job on the Saturn when we got home. Going down the Grapevine (I-5 very long 6% grade) at the bottom you can smell everyones' brakes. I usually stop at the town at the bottom of the grade to let everything cool and take a little break myself, as it is about 1.5 hours from home. Just walking around the coach I can feel the heat. Not so much now with the engine brake, but for sure when I had the gas RV.
