Did you try the e-brake test yet - to isolate the problem as front or rear?

My cables are pretty crappy I think I'm going to unhook the line at the t on the rear end and put a plug in it so the rear brakes won't work at all and test it on my road (not busy road)
Then see what that does.

If you feel it in the pedal check the front if you feel it in the seat check the back.

Sent from the dust in front of you!

if you have a isolated road,take the truck down the road in reverse at about thirty miles a hour and apply the brakes,do this several times and see if it make the problem worse or better.sometimes helps by adjusting the tension on the rear brakes.might isolate the problem too.

Have you went and had the front rotors turned or replaced yet? I couldn't find if you said you have or not. If not I bet the problem is there. I've seen a lot of trucks get warped rotors from just daily driving.

Repeat:

All stationary driveline components (axle tubes, transmission housing, transfer case, etc.) have been inspected and found to be securely mounted to the frame - correct?

Rotating elements of the driveline (driveshafts, axle shafts, gear sets, etc.) are in good shape, properly balanced and correctly indexed. U-joints are tight and any splined joints can move freely in the axial direction. IMPORTANT - Any bearings that support the rotating elements of the driveline have no excessive play.
