Ranger rear brake issues

I have a 2004 Ranger 4x4, 4.0, auto and have trouble with the back brakes howling, locking up and generally driving me nuts. I've replaced the drums, shoes, cylinders, emergency brake cables and all the hardware. We've bled all 4 numerous times, blown out the lines, looked for leaks and done all we can think of.

What am I missing?

Only things left would seem to be the proportioning valve ( maintains disk/drum balance) and ABS. Not sure how either would cause what you're talking about.

Good Luck,
