If I get a chance to jump out after hard braking, I'll take a reading.

The fronts do probably 80% of the braking, esp. on a truck with a heavy engine up front like ours. Drums may fade more than discs in the same application, but since the fronts do a LOT more work than the rears, the rears should not get nearly as hot.

That was kind of my though as well.
