If you tow alot and have marginal brakes on the trailer most of the braking load is transferred to the truck which creates alot of heat.This in turn warps the rotors. I changed out the stock rotors on my 5500 to drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads.and have had no problems since. My service truck weighs 22000# and was hard on pads and rotors since new. A set of stock pads would last about 15000 miles,rotors would be bad by 30,000, less if I drove alot in stop and go traffic. I have 100,000 on the drilled rotors with no shake or shimmy, the pads last about 40-45000 miles. Yes they were spendy, but it stops alot better, brake life is greater,which means I'm not losing a days time replacing the brakes every 3 months
