Right side pull when braking
Lately when I have been driving and hit the brakes the truck pulls to the right. Its not too bad, but noticeable. What could cause this? Im not very good with brakes. Im not sure what to look into. Last time I had the pads off they looked good and the rotors but that was maybe 10k miles ago

With tires removed you can also watch how the calipers are working.

Good point. A bulge in the brake line can also cause less hydraulic pressure if it expands.

this is the problem! your left slide pins are sticking or frozen and when you brake only the right side is braking thus causing the pull. take those babies apart and unfreeze and clean them. you might have to get a new caliper mounting bracket and slide pins if its too nasty.....
