14b drums help

[K5Greek]

Ever since Ive swapped in the 14b the drums have never acted right. Alot of times when im coming to a stop they sound like a train, its gets pretty embarrassing. It seems like both rears are locking or something. Sometimes itll pull to the right when braking.

Also when they get wet or when it rains they make the noise almost everytime i stop and are real touchy. A week or two ago after a rain storm the passenger side locked up when i was coming to a stop sign.

Ive had them off a few times checking everything and adjusted them also. Ive had my sisters fiance whos a ford tech look at them and adjust them and he cant see why they act like they do either.

Im lost. Could it be the proportioning valve? i know ill need one when i do the disc swap but ive never heard of people using them for drums.
*edit when the 14b was put it everything was new

Had the same exact issue with mine when i swapped to the big heavy monster, i figured it had something to do with an incorrect proportion valve, and i basically switched from a 10 bolt braking set up, to something with alot more braking surface (drum/shoe surface area), with excessive pressure, again, from an incorrect valve.

Even still after i swapped to disks, i am not having the lock up or touchy issues, but i am burning up rear pads about twice as fast as i do the fronts, but the pedal is not as tight as i would like it to be either,,feels alittle spongy and soft, but does brake real well, especially when i get them warmed up.

and you can pretty well bet, that there will be a TON of ideas, comments and "ways to fix it" from the group on here.

mines the same the 14ff drums are just to big and the combo valve was not meant to have it set up that way. I can't wait to do my disk swap..
