    The only other thing would be to check the adjustment on the back brakes.
    They are self adjusting to a point (if my memory serves me correctly) under normal use, however the self adjustment works much better if you use the park brake regularly

    Not real sure sounds more like a braking technique problem .

    If your Calipers are seized up but then you tend to smell the sweet aroma of very hot brake material

    Things should not be getting that hot during Normal brake applications depending on your driving style

    OME and worth every penny.
    Your wheel is always going to be too hot to touch after a long downhill. I guess that's why you're braking that long. Now smoking is a different story.

    Where are you from? Seems like English may not be your first language.

    Automatic trans during high idle warm up riding the brakes to keep speed down ??

    I can come off any hill here on the East Coast 1000 pounds in the bed Towing another 2000 or so and touch any of the wheels without burning my hand sure there warm not hot
