Pull the drums, and have a look at your rears. When I got my truck, stepping on the brake pedal was SCAREY.... I thought the truck was going to shake itself apart. (not to mention the truly hideous noises it made....) fronts were fine, rears were down to the rivets, and drums were out of round. New shoes, and turn the drums, and my brakes now work great. (the abs still sucks though. pretty much useless.)

Those shouldn't give you a pulsation.

Where do you feel the shaking most? Steering wheel? Or your seat?

Warped rotors or drums. Just because they are new, doesn't mean squat. A couple thousandths of warp/out of round, translates to a bouncy pedal.

Turn the rotors first, my guess is, most of it will go away.

Pull the ABS fuse, and relay, if there is one...... take it for a drive, see what happens. (disable ABS function, hopefully......)
