Brake clunk feeling in pedal?

Today, driving around, this started happening, I get a clunk vibration in my brake pedal, also, can kinda feel it in the ride when braking, its hard to explain, look at it this way, for every single rotation the front tires make, there is an equal singular clunk under braking from the front tires. I have noticed it on every surface I have been on, every time I apply the brakes at any speed or pressure of the pedal. I believe its coming from one side only(the left), but I am not sure. Im positive its coming from the front though. The truck is a 2001 Lightning, 3500 miles. My friend said maybe its catching on one pad instead of equally?? When I slow down to maybe 5 and ease the stopping, it kinda seems to increase its stopping in the little clunk feeling part. Thank you for reading, any help would be appreciated.

Did the clunk go away after you looked at them?

(Loose lugnuts also cause symptoms as you described)

cracks in the rotors are not going to disappear like cocaine after you snort it.

I am going to say that you are not going to get that covered under warranty. They will look at the mileage and tell you drive to hard. Plus brakes, clutches, rotors, tires, shocks are all owner covered items since they are wear items.
