I have to pull my Ferguson Tractor TO-35 about 50 miles next week on my 4 wheel trailer, the trailer does not have trailer brakes.
so my old 2005 dodge 2500 diesel 80K miles must be on top of its game brake wise.
Question:
I had the brake pads replaced the other day
rear pads were about gone, front had more pad left, so they must have been replaced before I got the truck at 40K
we did not replace or turn down the rotors: truck had no brake vibration before pads were replaced.
after replacing the pads, the truck started having a vibration when stopping like the rotors were warped, so my mech replaced the front rotors and dressed down the new front pads.
still picking up a some vibration when applying the brakes.
The mech thinks it may be the rear rotors are warped.
I ask my auto parts supplier about this, he said that many of the trucks that pull heavy loads like campers, equipment trailers, cattle trailers, most all will also replace the rear rotors along with the front when doing a complete brake job.
He ask, is the vibration in the steering wheel or the body of the truck, I said body of the truck, then he said that was the rear rotors!!!!!!!!!!
if front rotors were warped the steering wheel would be going back and forth.
I am not so sure at this point what to do as the rear rotors are about 1/3 more cost than the front rotors.
have any of you heard of this before ?????????

Thanks for any input,
Just want to be safe, *****really need to add trailer brakes to at least one axle on the old 16ft trailer.
