Why did you need to replace the parking brakes shoes? How did they
wear? Those are rarely used.
In any event, try backing up and going foward a few times and hit the
emergency brake hard, that's how they adjust.
Make sure the dragging noise your hearing is indeed the emergency
brakes, not the main disc pads.
Some dragging noise is normal when new pads are put in, but not to the
extent where it actually slows down the truck.
