Default Help with brakes

Hopefully you guys can help me,I have an 02 burb and just finished a cross country trip and just passed 100k miles. Now whenever I apply the brakes they start to pulse like antilocks do. I was thinking it was probably the rotors, any help you guys give would be much appreciated.

Thanks Bill

Your guess is right Bill. you have to reface the rotors,and relpace brake pads as well.You have to check LRO on brake lathe,if it is in specification go for cut,if not replace new one.hope this works for you.

abs sensors may need cleaning as well.

you might want to check the rotors for hot spots ( blackened areas on the surface with tiny cracks) if they are present, replace the rotors, don't even bother cutting them. 95dirtysuburban is probably right and this can caused the hot spots.
