check to see that the sensor wires that sense axle rotation are connected. Some are near the caliphers abd read the rotor rotation and in my car with rear drum brakes it is in the axle housing next to the axle bearing. Check that the sensor is compatable for the new application
The rear brakes normally only account for about 25% of your braking power. Due to engine weight being over the front wheels, and the way that the front settles down when braking, it's proportioned that way to get the best braking performance, especially in a pickup. Unless you change the proportioning valve, the amount of braking that the rear wheels do will not change. As for the brake dust, some types of pads do that more than others, and with disk brakes, this is normal.
I have the same problem with my 05 with 75,000 miles. With mine brake dust builds up in rear drums and causes sticking. Remove rear wheels and drums and clean everything with brake clean. I do it every 12 to 16 months and solves the problem.

depending on how wore down shoes are or self adjuster has pushed shoes out, you should be able to hit the face of drum with a hammer several tiems and it break loose to be removed.
