It's reverse and pressing the brakes I believe.

the brakes should be adjusted after replacement/repair, adjust until the shoes barely touch the drum. on the back plate there should be a hole with a rubber grommet in it. remove the rubber and there will be an star adjuster visible through the hole. use a flat head screw driver to rotate the star adjuster up or down to adjust the brake shoe clearance.

thxs guys ill look tomarro on my day off my it only has 55000 miles on it.. feels like im only braking on fronts and if u pull the ebrake it only engages all the way up

sounds like you may need new brakes, take the wheel off and the drum to check and make sure that the components are still working properly and that they aren't seized. If you're braking only with the front and there is life on the shoes, your automatic adjusters may be seized or need replacement.
