I am a new to the Super Duty thing myself, just having bought a 2000 F-250
SD PSD a few months ago. The problem you are having seems to be
characteristic of the SD's. I have two friends who have owned their SD's
for three years or so and I have helped them through a few brake jobs over
that time. Seems these trucks are prone to warping the front rotors ever so
slightly which causes the "jumping" during braking. Mine does it a little
but only when going at highway speeds. Not even noticeable around town. My
one buddy bought himself a complete set of spare rotors ($70 a piece new)
and always has a fresh turned set on hand when doing a brake job to expedite
the process a bit. That way you don't have to get them off, drive something
else to the machine shop, get them turned and then put them on. You just
get the spares done between brake jobs.

I had the same problem with my 1996 Ford Crown Victoria since I bought it
new. I now have 115,000 miles on the car.

First I had the mechanic always torque wheels to spec and I stopped having
my rotors cut (replaced them with new ones uncut) and problem went away. I
tried once having an exisiting set cut again and the problem returned. I
promptly changed them with new uncut rotors ever since and problem never
came back.

I do not know if this would work with your truck since there is so much more
weight to stop. But it is worth a try ?

Good luck.
