Have you actually looked at the brakes? Just because someone said the just re-did them does not mean it was done properly. The PO on my truck just redid the brakes but there was a mismatch of springs sorta just threw them on to get the drum back on. Jack up the truck, pull the wheels and drums off and just take a look at them but just don't start taking them apart......just look at them and try to understand them. Take some photos and post them if you have any questions.
