5. Reassemble and Test

The construction of a truck brake drum wood heater is relatively straightforward. Typically, it consists of a wood-burning stove or a specially designed heating element that is strategically placed near the brake drum assembly. The heat generated from the burning wood or electrical element radiates into the brake drum, preventing frost formation and keeping the brakes in prime condition. Additionally, some designs are equipped with adjustable settings, allowing operators to regulate the temperature based on local weather conditions.

With the drum installed, it’s time to reattach the wheels. Make sure the lug nuts are hand-tight before lowering the vehicle.

Additionally, Scotty emphasizes the importance of proper adjustment. Most drum brakes include a self-adjusting mechanism, but this can sometimes fail, leading to improper brake function. Regular checks and adjustments can help ensure that the system works as intended. If a driver notices that the brake pedal feels lower than normal, it might indicate that the drum brakes need adjustment.

3. Heat Management As brakes are used, they generate heat. An efficient brake drum, like the 16.5 x 5 model, is designed to dissipate this heat, reducing the risk of brake fade — a phenomenon where brakes lose effectiveness after prolonged use.
