96 e 250 brakes draging

Hi everyone,beautiful weather down in new orleans today.
I have problems with my rear brakes.I installed new shoes and spring kit and wheel cylenders at rear ,and also changed master cyl.
The problem is that after you drive a short time using the brakes a few times,the rear wheels will bind and drag.This problem started before I changed any parts.It seames that the fluid is onyl going one way,it won't go back to the master cyl. when you release the pedel.I think my truck only has abs on the rear.Also the abs ( green light ) and the two brake symbles(red light ) are on also. There is a valve body for the abs mounted on the frame with maby a half dozen wires attatched that the line from the master cyl. goes to it on one end and a line comes out at the other end to the rear brakes.There is also a sensor mounted to the rear end chunk.Do you all think my problem is mechinical (hydrolic) or electrical?
Thanks

Bobby,I know I am at the wrong forum,but I am new herde and could not find where I should be at.But any way,the wheels will spin freely after I release some fluid at the bleed valves.It comes out under presure when I crack them open.After I stop a few times it drages hard again.???????

To tell you the truth i dont know what to tell you, i dont know a whole lot about diagnoising brake problems.

Also don't sweat it about posting in the wrong forum.. ive done it before also.
