Default Violent Vibrations

i have a 97 1500 with a serious issue. when applying the brakes at any speed the whole truck vibrates so badly it seems to bounce. its so noticable that cars beside me ask if its supposed to do that or if they should take cover. what could be the problem, i just replaced the pad no more than 2 weeks ago.

How did the rotors look when you replaced the pads? Also, did you clean the rotors w/ break cleaner when you were done?

Sounds to me like your brake rotor is warped. My truck does the same thing and thats my problem. I just did a whole new brake job except the rotors and now i regret not putting them on. REPLACE YOUR ROTORS!!!
