Front Rotors

Well, i put new rotors on last time i did the front brakes about a year and a half ago.
Now once again, it's starting to pulse when braking and getting worse.
I could have them turned like i did the last rotors but we know whats going to happen.
What Good rotors are you buying for the front to help stop this ??

Greasing your slide pins on a schedule will prevent this.

Agree with Rich, slide pins are a likely culprit.

I ran Power slots for a year and a half, took off twice for pulsation, resurfaced, fine for 2-3 months, pulsation. I do tow a 12k 5th wheel. I recently put new Motorcraft on, fingers crossed.
Yes, slide pins lubed and I torque the wheel nuts.
