The wheel cylinder in my truck listed above continues to pop out and I don't know why. I added some pictures. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the image. I would replace the rear brake shoes and drums; this happens because they are out of spec.

Here are the shoes for $49.00:

And the drums for $59.00:

Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Thank you for replying, but that's a bigger problem because those are new brakes, I put on a month ago and everything I did matches the guide.

You may have the incorrect wheel cylinder installed? If the shoes and drums are new this is the only thing I can think of.
