02 break problems

Hello All,
I have a 2002 Tahoe LT. I'm the original owner and I have 65K miles. I replaced the breaks and rotors once. The originals seem to have worn out quiet quickly but I replaced them all at different times. First the rear rotors were replaced because of driving with the parking break on. Then I upgraded to ceramic pads not long after the replacement of the rear rotors then I replaced the front rotore. All the replacements happend in the span of 5000 miles of each other (truck was at 45k). The trouble starting happening at about 59k while breaking hard there was no pulsating but when lightly breaking in stop and go traffic or in city driving i get constant pulsating. I have flushed the breaking system compleatly I have bleed the breaks more than once. What can be causing this problem. Thanks in advanced!! Aaron

???

The first thing I think of when hear pulsating brakes is the rotors. Do you feel it in the steering wheel, or just the pedal and the body. If you feel it in the steering wheel, that might indicate something in the front brakes otherwise it might be the rears. My first move, and probably cheapest, would be to get the rotors turned and see if that fixes the problem.

good luck
-Joe
