2017 1500 brakes pulsating at lower speeds

[Bluestreak4thgen]

So I bought a '17 1500 with 39k miles about 2 months ago. Last month my front right brake started to squeal but wasn't awful because sometimes it goes away. There was also a slight pulsing in the brake pedal but not in the wheel. Rotors look good to me (no discoloring or anything). The pulsing only happens when slowing to a stop or braking hard. At higher speeds when braking just to slow down a little the pulsating isn't really there. Truck doesn't pull or anything like there is a stuck piston.

My question is where should I start? Front pads? Front pads and rotors? Something else?

Truck is still under bumper to bumper warranty with the dealership but I doubt they will cover this. May call tomorrow and just check.

Before you do anything, try rebedding the brakes. It involves getting them heated up and allowing them to cool slowly, without coming to a full stop before they are cooled. I found it will remove pulsing and often brake squeal. Here's an article. There are a few different variations on sped and time etc but the process is essentially the same. https://www.autoanything.com/resources/how-to-bed-in-brake-pads/

Interesting. I didn't think to try and rebed them in. The rotors looks decently new so I wonder if they were new when I got them and weren't bedded properly.

I ended up with pulsing rotors in my 03 2500 after a panic stop when some idiot pulled out in front of me. Almost immediately after my panic stop, I pulled up to a red light and sat through it. My theory is that during that time sitting stopped (after superheating the rotor) pad material transferred to that spot on the rotor and built up a high spot. A round of bedding the pads in again cured it. It's worth a shot. Post back if it works for you. Good luck.
