1. truck just not coasting true as straight as a 45 year old aerodynamic brick normally does, ha ha
2. very slight smell of something burning (I thought it was a wire conduit gently touching the exhaust manifold at first)
this may sound stupid, but I sorta developed The Truck Whisper, not bragging just I can honestly feel when something aint right, I may not always know what is wrong, but something just bugs me and I have to investigate, I'm sure why you all drive your trucks you develop the same thing over time

Not after my brake job, but before yes and they were fine. I actually installed the wheel bearings carefully in a process similar to the one described above, where I tightened the castle nut then loosened it to find the hole for the cotter pin.
