i go to stop and it seems as though i have very little braking , the pedal does not go to floor or any thing like that it just seems as if one brake is stopping the truck and now the rotors are violently vibrating like there warped i took wheels off and i have a lot of pad left but it seems the fronts arent even working because the pads ar not as worn a s the rear and i replaced them all the same time last summer i was thinking maybe the routing block that sits under the master cylinder could be bad some how i would not know how to check it thanks for responding

there is only one piston on most calipers. the one side pad hits the disc, then the calilper shifts sideways and the other side pad hits the disc and they clamp together to stop... if everything moves, i dont know why you think there is no brake. have someone push the pedal slightly while in teh air and you should not be able to pry to wheel to turn. you can also take the caliper off and put a 1/2 inch plywood piece between the pads and push brake and see if the puck comes out and applies force.
