Truck pulling to the right.

[JMLambert]

I had the tires rotated yesterday on my 99 dually. The tire shop swapped the left rear dually tires with the ones on the front. Prior to this the truck tracked true and there were no problems. Now it is pulling to the right. I checked the tire pressure in the front tires and pumped them up to 70 psi. This had no effect. Prior to taking it back to the shop are there any suggestions? Thank you in advance John.

What are the pressures that you run in front and rears? If you run unloaded most of the time, 50 - 60 fronts and 45ish in the rears might fix it and give you a smoother ride. How much weight is on the front right? Lots of things could cause the pull. Age and type of tires can cause this. I just install a set of Centramtic balancers and truck is tracking truer than before. Will need a longer time at interstate speeds to see the real difference. At 60, it has help with that vibration. Will be taking a long trip and will have old shoes on the way out and new shoes on the ride back. Will give a good idea of the difference. Hope you get this solved. It's the little things that get you!

The only DRW rotations I've watched kept the same 3 tires on same side of the truck, where the front tire goes to the back, one rear tire comes forward, and the other rear tire goes opposite the inner or outer it was. If your front tires came from the left rear, one is rotating the same direction it did and the other side is rotating opposite, rather than both being the same. I'm wondering if there's anything in tread wear or condition that might cause that pull?

Rotate the front tires side to side leaving rims where they are. This puts the inside on the outside. Leave rears where they are. 30-35psi rears and 70 fronts on a 2nd gen.

If you put the left inner on the left front and the left outer on the right front, they’re rotating the same way they were on the rear.

I’d suggest swapping the fronts side to side, the ones on the front now. See how it drives then.

Thanks for the info and replies. I have an appt. to address the issue this morning. John

Please let us know the outcome. My 1996 pulls slightly to the right.

The front tires were swapped side to side. After putting several hundred miles on the truck, this has corrected the problem. Thanks for all the info and help. John
