Hello,
Got a brake problem! Just changed rear rotors and pads on a 1999 GMC Sonoma, and it feels like I'm driving around with the parking brake on, but its not. Took everything off again. And the rotors and pads are over heating. Could it be the master cylinder not releiving pressure?

Thanks,

With the brakes re assembled, go for a drive and then crack a bleeder, if the brakes back off, it will be a pressure retention problem, check the pedal free play first.
