breaking problems

when i drive down the road my truck doesn't pull at all but as soon as i break it pulls left extremely hard, and after just a few weeks of driving a thick layer of brake dust has developed on the left rim. what do you think would cause this?

just my guess but..Im thinking your right caliper is seized up causing the pull left(since thats the only caliper working) also causing the excessive brake dust because its doing all the stoping on its own

I would just pull the caliper first, if its seized you will have a hell of a time compressing it. That way you will know what's up.
