Damn Pat, I don't know about the diesel system. Umm, abs system flaking out? Again, I don't know the diesel system but after all that there can't be much left is there? Main hubs ok? Just guessing.
can you feel anything in the steering wheel when it happens? Do you feel anything in the pedal? is it in the back or the front that it gets hot? Or all 4?

I'd check the ABS, can you hear the ABS motor doing anything when you hit the brakes and they pulse? You could try pulling the fuse for the ABS out too that should disable the system and see if it does it still. That's a cheaper test then replacing the booster or master.

Great suggestions, just sent her off a message to give it a try.
Well I guess I should have found this thread before I posted in the other one. Sounds like everything I suggested has been done.
I would start looking for a bearing locking up, or the proportioning valve/ABS system. If you can smell brakes.
The pulsation is the rotors. Take the stock ones off and throw them in the scrap pile. I have had the best luck with slotted and drilled rotors, never had any pulsation after. Make sure lugnuts are torques correctly and evenly.
