I changed the lock assembly on the driver side door and now the back doors do not open. The passenger side opens independently. The driver side was able to losk the truck, but now no more. How can I open or fix rear doors?

The drivers door is probably where you are going to need to go first. Re inspect the work and correct the problem, perhaps an alignment in the key cylinder, it can be "clocked" wrong. You have replaced the lock cylinder 90° out of alignment.
