Good point @B-train. It can get so bad that the ABS sensor doesn't read right and you'll get low speed pulsations from the anti-lock. This can be annoying and down right dangerous when coming to a stop.Also, if you reside in a salt state, you may have rust buildup on the face of the wheel bearing hub. If that's not chiseled/filed smooth, it can cause issues with the rotor not sitting true and causing braking issues.
Since the OP is here in the '91-'99 section, I'd say his rear axle is likely drum brakes. We haven't approached that subject here yet LOL.You didn't say, that I saw. Did you do all rotors and pads or just one axle? If just one axle, could be the other causing the vibes. Plus, what has been said about the rotor mount area is important to check and repair as needed, especially in salt road states. I used to see it ALL the time in KC, Mo. Are calipers moving freely and is hardware installed correctly? Soooo many things to consider.
Ok, he can drive the truck and apply the park brake, slowly, to see if has the vibes. I have seen the vibes caused by out of round drums and shoes problems, such as hold down hardware....etc. Sorry, did not look/see the '91-'99 section.Since the OP is here in the '91-'99 section, I'd say his rear axle is likely drum brakes.
