2001 3/4t 4x4 6spd, has pulled to the left from day 1. Changed tires, different rims, alignment is good and within specs. 2 Dealers say nothing is wrong. Please Help... . Thanks, Scott

Scott, mine pulled hard to the right since day 1. Went many times to get it fixed in Whitehorse, YT. All I got was the runaround. Paid $1200 out of my own pocket for the fix. Bade brake calliper, lots of drag.



Get out and check your brake disk temp, if one is scorching hot and the other is just tollerable to the touch, you have drag.



Also, my front axle is 3/4 of a degree out, making my camber impossible to get close, Right side camber is lower than the left,hence pulls to the left. I had the combo effect I think?



Annyways, the dealership said it was within the "numbers", what a crock of s$it! Good luck, Ron Peterson in Washington gave me good advice, maby try looking him up.

Sorry shoul have proofed it firs.



The low camber is on the right, hence pulls right.

My 2001. 5 pulls to the left also. Not quite as bad with the Les Schwab snow tires. If I was on crowned 2 lane road all the time, it was most likely be fine. SNOKING

Look up the old post plenty on this problem . look in the archives . If you want to solve the problem . Go to a alignment shop that works on big trucks as their main income . Look for the shop the works on city bus ,garbage , fire , large motor homes . other large trucks . I had this problem and went here in Louisville Metro area to Tone's ,they did it in one hour what Dodge couldn't in three weeks and three tries . Cost dealer 55 as I did not want them to work on my truck any more and to send me to Tone's they called and arranged it under the warranty. lol Ron in Metro ?Louisville KY
