Default Late model brake question

When was the "official" switch to drums on the rear of the Silvy?? Are they having as many problems as Im reading about?

I heard that they started the rear drums in 05 on the half tons. I have an 06 with 12000 miles on it and have not had any trouble yet. However, I have heard of a few who have.
