Pulling problem...

Hello again guys, I have yet another problem. My truck is pulling to the left almost all the time. The only time it wants to go straight is when I am in the the RH lane. I have checked all the obvious causes of pulling: tire pressure, worn steering components, suspension components, brake drag, and alignment. The ONLY other thing I cam think of is the steering box??? Can anyone give me any other ideas please?
Thanks,
Aaron

If you haven't already, try crossing the front tires side to side and see if it pulls the other way, could be a radial pull in a tire.

Does it happen all the time or just on one rd.?
Depending on where you live, some roads are crowned that way for drainage.
There's a couple of roads I run on that does the same thing. Drove me nutz trying to fig. out WTF was wrong. Finally I gave up and blamed it on the roads.

Oh yeah, you could have a hub sticking too.

X2. I've had this happen many times.... Tires are not as consistent as you would wish.

Manually lock the front hubs (without putting the T-case in 4 wheel drive) and go for a spin. If the pull is gone then the hubs are the issue.
