Little history, I replaced my rear brake drums and pads because my anti-lock brake and e-brake light were on. Figured pads were gone, they were. After replacing my shoes the rear brakes drag intermitently. So I replace the Master cylinder and the ABS sensor. Probelm goes away for about 24 hours and now my breaks are dragging again randomly. There is no pattern to them dragging but they obviously are. I took the truck to good guys and they verified that my shoes were installed right and adjusted properly. The truck has no codes and they don't know what it is. I question if there mechanic knows what he is doing so I have another buddy check my shoes and he too says they look good. Any ideas?
Rear brake cylinders? Is there anything left that would cause this? I am not an idiot but I am at a loss and tierd of replacing parts that make no difference LOL

did you grease the back plate were the brake shoes rub? if not this could cause it to grab and hold intermitently. also bleeding your brakes in the proper order makes a difference as well.
it could also be that you have blockage in one of the lines, when under high pressure on application, it would let fluid through, but on low pressure return, it would hold it back. check the rubber lines esp.
