Hey guys,
Newbie here.  Need some help.  I have a 1987 Ford L8000 34k gvw Single axle spoke wheel.  I have changed the drum, the chamber, the hardware and the linings twice and the truck is good for about 3-4 days then it gets louder and louder to the point where it makes a garbage truck sounds quiet.  It is on fuel oil delivery truck.  I have done many many brake jobs over the years and never seen anything like this.  Any ideas ? I am the only one who drives the truck and it is not abused.

Both rear wheels.  They are Q kit 23,000lb linings.  The first set i tried was carlisle the second not sure.  After new lining install they are quiet for a few days then get progressively worse.  They are quiet in the morning but after a few miles the get loud.  Light application.  Hard application no noise.  Drums are new.  No noise going backward that I can tell.

A good heavy truck brake supplier should be able to set you up with all the correct parts. It does sound like the brakes are glazing up like a packer or shunt truck commonly does. I have learned from an old British foreman one time who cut some slight criss cross lines along the shoes & that seemed to help. I think it is the speed that the units are subjected to daily.
