Outta Ideas-Please help

Hi all, I'm turning to you again for an ongoing problem. I have an '01 F250 PSD, problem is pull during braking. Sounds easy but here's whats been done, new rotors, pads( 3 sets now), hoses,calipers,Turned rear rotors, new rear pads,ball joints, alingment, tires. Dealership still has the truck and they've disabled ABS & rear brakes and it still pulls. It will pull to the right at times then left at times or no pull at times. If you have any ideas please let me know, i'm outta them!
Thanks for any info.
Scott

Could also be brake pad pins not properly lubed so they would bind up, improperly torqued lug nuts(yes really).
Has it always done this since new or just lately?

I know you had an alignment, but did you check your ball joints?

my 2001 has done the same thing since new, and i have done many of things you have tried. the best results are from something i just did. i had all my rotors(stock) turned and but on new "performance friction carbon metalic Z-rated" pads on all four. it is much better than it ever has been but still does it a little, sometimes

Had those replaced about 2 months ago and alignment re-checked last week, thanks for the idea though

It started after the first set of brake pads, 8 months ago, like I said on going problem.

Probably already thought about this, but I know mine did this before I put on the stabilizer. But it used to track ruts or grooves worn in old pavement and pull accordingly right or left. Just a thought.
