: Brake shutter in 07.5

Just a quick question that I can't find an answer for in any other posts.
We just bought a 07.5 2500HD crew cab about 2 weeks ago and have logged about 2500 miles. The other day my wife told me that the brakes shuttered when she was making a right turn. She had been traveling about 60 mph and slowed in a turn lane to make the right. By the time it made the shutter she was doing about 35-40mph, and was starting to make the turn. She let off and applied the brakes again, but got no shutter. It is not a hard turn and the truck was unloaded. We can't seem to duplicate the problem, but I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem. I have read a few posts about shutters coming from the drive shaft, but this seems to be a brake problem. I thought I might have heard about this problem on some of these trucks with over sized tires and are lifted, but I can't find anything in this forum. Any ideas would help.

When I replaced my brakes I didn't know that theres suppose to be a residue placed on the brake glide to help the brake shoe slide. I some times seem to get a brake that wont release right away. Have the dealer check to see if it was ever put on..
