Wonder how long until they crack from dissimilar metals being in contact?

I bought a truck with the LIGHT WT. DRUMS with close to 500,000 mi. and a driver did the hole brake job, and left the drums laying in the scrap pile, the shop guys told me next insp. i was going to need to do a brake job on drive axles before next 6 mo. ck. they sold me his drums and i put hi stoping power shoes on it, i sold the L WT DRUMS to a driver that cams were flipping over at 1/2 shoe warn out and he told me they lasted 350,000 more mi. so they must be good drums, and 200 lbs lighter than the ones i put on?
spindrift Thanks this.
