How badly are they warped? can you actually see the warpage and does the ride quality change with warped rotors, cause my truck vibrates between 45 and 55 and the warped rotors make sense

I know some people have problems w/ them, I think I read that one cause was the wheel lugs being torqued too much. Try asking the guys in the 3rd gen section b/c you'll probably get more hits from people who have had this problem.

You probably need to have your tires balanced. Warped rotors should only cause vibration when you're braking.

My 02 has already gone through a set of rotors on the rear, and now the ones on the front are gone..so I ordered a new set of EBC Ultimax Slotted Rotors, and a new set of EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads. I hope this takes care of the problem...if it does, then I will buy another set for the rear..truck only has 96,000 miles on it..
