Brakes?('91 C1500)
Got a 91' C1500 and I'm having some braking issues. When I bring the truck to a stop the brakes pulsate like crazy. I can literally feel the whole truck slowing down to the rhtym of the pulsing and it's real annoying
 . Anybody have any idea as to what it could be?Thanks, Mike

I would place a bet on warpped front disc rotors.

Ditto on the warped discs on the front end. Chevy trucks are known for wearing the front pads and heating up the discs. Check your pads, replace if necessary, and have the front discs turned/machined flat. You should notice a big difference.

It also helps to adjust the rear brakes as well. I have owned my 90 K1500 since it was new and once I started adjusting the rears by hand every tire rotation, I stoped wearing out the fronts early. The self adjusters only adjust in reverse and they don't work all that well.
