Pulsing during slow braking..... rotors or ABS?

Long story short, I just noticed (actually its been happening for a while now) that when I am slowing down, the truck pulses a little bit when I am slowing down slowly, and hit happens between the 20 and 0 mph marks.
Keep in mind, my steering wheel is not shaking, my brake pedal is NOT pulsing, but I can feel the truck kinda pulse a bit when I am slowing down.
If I hard brake, I have no problems.
Well, it about time for a brake change (60k) so I wanted to take care of everything at once.
Rotors have never been serviced, so I am thinking of replacing or at least turning them. (front ones anyway, back pads are still good)
Could this pulse I feel be because of the rotors, which may be warped? Or is it just the ABS doing it's job?

Tips for not warping....
Get high carbon rotors and/or slotted rotors. A combo of both is best.
Don't drive hard through standing water with your brakes hot.
If you brake hard and come to a stop , either keep rolling slowly, or shift into neutral and engage your parking brake for a bit. You don't want your pads clamped to a stationary hot rotor.
Use a torque wrench when tightening wheel lug nuts. Uneven torque mean uneven stresses.
