if your going over 15mph and brake normaly coming to a stop or hard braking and it shakes its *** off when braking you need to turn your rotors and have new brake pads installed or if your going 15mph or above 15-75mph and its shaking its *** off with out braking
you need to balance your wheels hope this helps

junior, his truck has 161 miles on it. IMO, i seriously doubt the truck has warped rotors or a wheel balance problem if this is a problem that just suddenly appeared. i've warped rotors pretty bad b4 by having to slam on the brakes with a trailer, & the truck never shook so hard that my wife wouldn't drive it 'til i fixed it. eithier way, it'd b nice 2 hear from sweet07 and find out what the problem was.

Kinda sounds like an "anti lock brake issue" to me

This is a bit odd considering that you are not braking at high speeds. I won't also rule out the possibility of a worn out rubber isolaters. Also when one caliper holds tighter than the other, such uneven grab can also result to that shaking.
