Put it in reverse and keep pulling it until your truck stops.

If it doesn't work, you will need to adjust the rears through the access hole below the bleeder valve. Jack the tire off the ground for the wheel you are working on. You'll make the screwdriver turn the adjustment knob until you feel the slightest drag on the drum. Repeat for other side. After you are done, do the emergency brake- reverse trick.

You can create threads just not in the classifieds. There might of been some some maintenance running or something if you tryed else where.. Anyways..

make sure the cap is clean and tight on the res', there is proper fluid levels. Then fiddle with the switch, mine is a little finicky and sometimes I have to bang it into the dash to get it to shut off.
