I need to call my dealership because I am having a problem when braking. The only thing I know about trucks are from Car Talk Podcasts! Anyway, when I stop my truck shakes. Do I need a aligment, new brakes or either?

It is a 2008 Chevy Tahoe LTZ.

Possible suspension items or warped rotors.

It also shakes if I go over 65mph. How much is it for rotors? I've had the truck since last July. Is that covered by warranty?

If it's shaking under braking, then warped rotors are the most likely cause. If you're getting a shaking/vibration at certain speeds, then my first guess would be that the tires need balanced. It could also mean you have some worn out steering or suspension components, but I wouldn't expect a 2008 Tahoe to have these kind of parts worn out yet unless it had a really hard life for the 2 years before you got it.
