Maybe have the mod move this to the Toad Section?
The fact that the OP has said this " I have to replace rear brake pads about every 5000 miles of towing. They are down to rivots then." should tell us he has disc brakes. The fact that he said the pads are wearing down to the rivets tells us it is not the e-brake cable as the e-brake is a set of brake shoes located inside the rotor.
OP I'm guessing you are running some kind of braking system on your truck that works off of either a rod pushing on the trucks brake pedal or tide into the brake system itself. If you had this installed go back and have them figure out what is going on and fix it. If you installed it yourself, go back over every detail and adjustment to see what is out of wack.
If it is tide into the trucks braking system the ABS system may be affecting the rear brakes. Not sure if you have four wheel independent ABS or if the rears are tide together.
Again you would find better answers over at the "TOAD SECTION" as those are the guys in the know.
Good luck Don
