I can increase the pulsing with the ebrake so it’s not the front.
Left drum is 350F after minimal braking. Right drum is 145F, so somethings going on. Bell cranks are free. I took it to the shop who turned the drums and they backed off the adjusters and said it was fine, no charge. It was fine for about 5 minutes, then it came back. It seems to only pulse when the brakes are warm. The first few minutes of driving are normal. Now I’m worried the heat has roasted the wheel bearing on that side - that job was a pita.

Your wheel bearing is probably fine. If you can try swapping the drums side to side and seeing if the high temps follow the drum. Is there any fluid/gear oil on the shoes?
