Default Drum breaks sticking

Have never had a problem before but then just the other day i notice my breaks smoking after i get home. Replaced wheel cylinders, break shoes and new hardwear. It seemed fine for about 20-30 min of driving around town to test it out. Take it to work and back to smoking agian. The breaks are not wanting to release. Could it be the master cylinder?

Welcome to the F-150 forum! Glad to have you join us.

Have any fun performance modifications planned for the truck?

Drum sticks?

Oh, drum brakes!

Probably want to post on the section of the forum that is devoted to your model year, not the intro section. Did you mount the brake pads the right way, because it matters with Ford pads?

Welcome to the forum !
Share a pic of the truck.

Like Ricktwuhk said, post in your year thread.

It could be a bad brake hose going to the rear axle.

Will have to get a pick in the morning and i went ahead and replaced the rear hise today. Haven't had a problem yet. Hopefully thats all. Next step is the master cylinder.
