Front or rear? discs or drum? rotors or drums turned(resurfaced)or not? Many times when you just replace pads without resurfacing rotors will tend to be noisy and sometimes overheat causing warpage,pedal will pulsate upon application.Good luck
Sticky or stuck brake calipers. Sticky or stuck parking brake mechanism.
rear brake drums or rotors are out of round.
It could be that the brake pads are dragging on the rotors.
If the truck has disc brakes on the rear then the park brake shoes are located inside the rear rotors. You have to remove the brake calipers, pads and rotors to access them
what causes rear wheel rotors to heat up
The brake rotors are warped. Someone tightened the lugnuts out of sequence. That compressed and torqued the rotors out of spec. Replace the from rotors and pads and the rear ones too, if necessary.
Sounds Like: 1. Caliper Is Hanging Up (Not Letting Piston Go Back Into Caliper Bore. 2. Self Adjuster Not Working Properly. 3> The Emergency Brake Not Completly Releasing .....

Brake rotors or drums need to be machined or replaced. If it causes steering wheel shaking, check front brakes. If happens when applying parking brake look to rear brake problem.
have you checked your brake fluid??
Not much. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels only and places the brake shoes (or brake pads on cars with rear disc brakes) against the brake drums (rotors) so that the car will not coast away on its own.In any case, if you drive with the parking brake on, the shoes or pads will wear a tiny bit until they are no longer in contact with the drums/rotors. you will lose a 32'nd inch or so of brake pad, and that's it.Rear brake will drag and overheat Fuel mileage will decrease Brakes will "fade" and not be as effective when trying to stop Unnessary Increased wear on brake linings
