question about drum brake temps

Hi all,
I recently replaced the drums, shoes, hardware, and wheel cyl. on my 99.

I have been keeping an eye on temps from driving. I've noticed the left drum will be warm to the touch, not hot at all, and the right is stone cold. I have adjusted the brakes and they feel good and the truck stops good. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or if someone can tell me if the I need to adjust the right drum tighter. I can hear the shoes just lightly touching the drum on both sides and I get just over 3 full revolutions on each side.

Thanks,
Scott

you might want to bleed your brakes. a cold rotor means that you are not getting any brake performance from that wheel
