welp, I completely flushed my brake system with valvoline full synthetic brake fluid.
the pedal isnt as soft as it was but the pulsing is still there.
o well, i feel better having clean brake fluid in my lines anyway so..

I got a pulsing like that once with a Kelsey Hayes trailer brake set up. Got rid of that bleed the brakes and it was gone. I really had to bleed them good tho, I did it three different times. Finally the pulsing went away.

My truck weighs quite a bit more than yours - with this brake set up (just on the fronts) I'm not kidding - it stops on a dime (smooth)..
It was cheap - I put my Ceramics back in the box - I'll never use them again , sucks , they were exspensive.. Oh well , lesson learned.

i'll give it a week and then maybe bleed em again.
