or if the rod that engages with the master cylinder needs to be adjusted? A likely culprit When they are dragging, try momentarily opening a bleeder screw or cracking the line for the rear brakes at the master> If it releases fluid and the drag disappears The above or an internally collapsed hose is probable.

Have you checked to see if they are dragging when lugs are not torqued down? I had 11 hd rear drums that were not cast properly and I would get them adjusted just right, torque the wheels down, then they would drag enough to heat up badly. It wasn't until the wheel lugs were torqued down pulling the drum in tight that they would drag.
Facts are stubborn things.

I replaced all the rubber hoses. I am thinking it is the rod going to the master. Can this be adjusted in?

I replaced all the rubber hoses. I am thinking it is the rod going to the master. Can this be adjusted in? Might have gotten a bad hose although not likely, I would keep it on the table if all else fails As far as the pushrod adjustment it varies between Suppliers, vehicles etc. When they are non adjustable & too short we've had to make spacer's other times shorten the rod or shim the master out

The hoses are the originals, I kept them for reference along with the wheel cylinders and original fasteners. Frankly, should has just rebuilt the wheel cylinders and put them back on. One was a little juicy. The booster is original, the MC is a Bendix style Look a like to the OEM. I have never dealt with adjusting the rod. I suppose just take the four nuts off the MC pull it aside and then what? What is the correct adjustment? Thanks
