Shaking when braking

Everything I have used since buying my truck in 2010 was suppose to be OEM, the ones I purchased prior to 2 days ago came from Rock Auto, the rotors were the drilled and grooved kind but according to Rock Auto were OEM. I removed them thinking they had warped and purchased the rotors, pads and calipers from Autozone which were also suppose to be OEM they definitely were not the cheapest .

I don’t think Autozone sells OEM parts. Only “OEM equivalent”, which are anything but.

The “emergency brake”, actually the parking brake, is activated by mechanical linkage. It is the pulsing in the hydraulic lines, induced by the out of round rotors, that cause the shaking in the front. As I recall, it took quite awhile for anyone to recognize the issue during the early years of Tundra forums.

I think I am chasing the same problem as the OP, and I'm interested in the idea that it's actually the rear causing the problem. I'd like to test the e-brake method, but your reply leaves me slightly confused: did you mean "out of round drums" instead of rotors?

It seems its been awhile since there were any reply's to this subject, I have had this problem for a long time. I've replaced front rotors pads and calipers 3 times and rear shoes and drums this last time. When I did this in the past it took care of the problem and then it would slowly return, I figured it was the front rotors slowly warping. This last time, when I replaced all brakes (last summer) it started put good and quickly went back to the same vibrating. I had to let it go thru the winter and I replaced the front rotors, pads and calipers ( second set of these) 2 days ago and it has already gone back to the vibrating. I cannot say that the vibrating is in the front or rear it shakes the whole truck. the other weird part is that it starts out in the morning okay, but as I drive it through the day it tends to get worse. I've tried the 9-3 12-6 tire movement and it feels solid, I've tried the braking with my parking brake and it does not shake with that.
I think its the fact that if it sits over night or for a long period of time it does okay but the longer I drive it, either with or without braking ( like on a long expressway trip) it will get worse. I'm out of ideas.

Is it possible the rear brake cylinder is getting stuck and causing the brake pad to drag on the drum?
