Shuddering while braking?

It disengages it just keeps trying to re-engage. You can hear the tire slipping. I don't think a picture could show the tread wear. It's every other lug in the pattern that it's worn down but just barely. Not sure how this is causing my issues though

Keep in mind that once a tire starts to wear in a set pattern, that will not go away on those tires, ever. The wear you are describing sounds like a form of cupping. Tread that has two levels of tread will be noisy, and will change in sound and vibration during braking, worse with tires on front, under braking.

 

The diff should not be trying to engage on corners unless you are spinning one wheel. The speed difference between inside and outside tire on a 90 degree turn is almost nil. Be very hard to even measure the difference it is that small. I ran a spool in my 78 ProStreet Mustang with 5.38 gears, 90 degree turns (like intersection turns) would make the outside tire "chirp" or make a odd sounding squeal. Sound was much like you would hear when someone drags a car across the parking lot and the wheels are locked up. Never tried accelerating around a corner, more out of fear than smarts. Also never got caught in or drove in the rain with the spool. Figured that would be suicide a block from home.

 

The worst side effect of using a spool on the street was trying to do a lane change at anything over 20mph. Car did not want to turn for the lane change, even driving straight down the road, would leave me with the impression that all 4 tie rod ends were very worn. Rack and Pinion steering is usually a very responsive system, but not with a spool. Just some off topic comments that this thread is reminding me of.

its probably tire cupping, my truck shutters when slowing down from higher speeds usually or down hill. Took it to the dealer cause I thought it was brakes, they say the tires are cupping. Cant afford new tires right now, so i deal with the shakes for a bit i guess.

Yeah I guess I will just deal with them cause if I get new tires I want new wheels too lol guess I'll just start putting little by little away for them

I have this same problem as I have now changed the rotors and pads for the 4th time... It can't be all 4 sets are warped as that's what everyone keeps saying "well if it's only happening during braking its the braking system... I have changed the calipers the lines everything... I now have drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic brakes still happens... I have 4 New Pirelli tires about to go on and hope that makes a change but I have read a bad axle can cause this and did jack up my truck and on the passenger rear I do see a slight variation so ordered a new axle... I guess by the time I rebuild this truck sooner or later I will get the vibration out... Anybody have an thoughts or any experience in this???

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      Interesting pivot.

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
