Generally, they adjust when you apply the brakes fully while backing up. Of
course the adjuster must be free to turn when you do this which is why the
anti-seize helps keep it from sticking. Different brands of cars have
slightly different methods of adjusting the parking brake and/or the rear
brake shoes. Rear *disk* brakes usually don't have any adjustment issues.

Usually brakes don't have much of a warranty as wear is greatly affected by
driving habits. However, if your truck is still under warranty it wouldn't
hurt to try. Especially if the rotors are warped.
