Brake Pads

new problem: 2005 dodge 2500

I had the new brake pads installed:
Wagner Thermo Quiet
Made by Federal Mogul

the mechanic did not dress the rotors because the old brakes stopped smooth, no problem other than the pads were just worn down after 80K miles.

now after a few days I have noticed I am having some vibration as I stop, like you would have, if the rotors were slightly warped.

is that possible, normally you have warped rotors before you change the pads and have them dressed before you install new pads?
I do not want to have my rotors dressed, if they do not need it.


any advice: why would this happen, truck does stop much better with the new pads, just this new vibration issue.

am planning a 600 mile trip pulling my trailer this week, do you think after pulling the trailer and stopping
possible the brake pads will work in, or should I have the rotors turned??????????
