Because the dealer wanted $57.00 each and no other parts store carried them. The ones from PureDieselPower are from EGRbrakes. They are kevlar lined, steel braide and silcon coated! Woohow, whatever! Anyway, hopefully this fixes it. Took it for a test drive this evening and did a touch test to the rims. Drivers side rear was cool, passengers side was warm..... Gonna take it to work tomorrow and see what happens. Hopefully it's just the new stuff wearing in on the right!
Hopefully a Tech will see this thread and post up what is exactally happening to our trucks. This seems to be a common problem at around 200k miles. My truck has 195K.

Well, wheel still getting hot. So I took everything apart, luckly the rotor came off easily. Two things I did extra this time was I backed off the E-brake all the way to make sure that wasn't what is dragging and making everything heat up. Also I pulled the steel line off from the T-block on the rear axel and cleaned it out. It wasn't dirty that I could tell but I put a steel wire through it and made sure it was clean, and flowed easily. The last thing to change, if that all didn't fix it, is the T-block rubber line from the frame to axel. We'll see!
Yeah, I have no complaints with my truck either, I bought it used and have had some issues but Love my truck!
