Thumbs up whole lot of shakin' goin' on

Hey guys...

Have noticed in the last few days a small but noticeable shudder as I'm slowing down...

I've only this past week or so put on a Superchip and K&N FPIK, but it feels like brakes?

I 'aint no expert, believe me... but what do you guys think?

Thanks for any ifo

Less than a week after I bought my truck it started that. $155 dollars later it stopped. Sounds like you have a warped rotor.

Trust me, you have warped rotors.

My last car was a 1995 Ford Thunderbird. I know the problem well. I replaced them EVERY 1500 miles in the T-Bird. It ate them like candy. I finally quit doing it myself and took it to a local shop and got a warranty on the work. It still ate them, but they replaced them under the warranty EVERY 1500 miles.

I hope my new F-150 never develops that problem.
