Ok this is REALLY starting to annoy me.

Backlog: Had major brake problems that eventually lead to the replacement of everything besides the rear drums, the master cylinder and the brake lines. I repeat, EVERYTHING else is new! That includes pads/rotors, shoes, calipers.

I barely drive the truck, so its kinda hard to tell exactly what is going on, but right after leaving the shop I noticed it wasnt right.. But here is the gist of it:When stopping (after we CUT the rear drums and replaced the shoes. Drums were WAY OUT) i still get this grinding noise and although the truck stops well I can feel and hear it vibrate/grind too.

The only thing I can freaking think of its because the drums were so out that they are to thin now and that the rear shoes I drove on before we cut the drums have become glazed. I am sick and tired of throwing money into this truck.

So Do I replace the rear shoes and drums and PRAY, HOPE, BEG, and PLEAD they are ok. Or is it something else? I know for a fact I have all quality stuffup front (brembo rotor/hawk pads), but I used these 40 some odd dollar napa premium shoes in the rear.

Ok.. I am SOOOO SORRY to keep bothering everyone, but like I said its hard to track down problems it seems and its driving me mad! Its getting to the point where I think I may sell my T and buy a fullsize ford or chevy!
