Brakes pull to the left on a 1999 F-250 4x4 diesel.
I've changed front pads, rotors, calipers and brake line hoses.
I've changed rear shoes and turned the drums.
It still pulls to the left.
What else is there to do ?

My first impression is that your left side is malfunctioning. Is your left caliper sticking--Did you lubricate the pin/bolt where the pads slide.
My second impression is that your left is functioning properly, and your right is not functioning well enough. You could have air in the right side.
Is there a proportioning valve that could be bad or clogged?

The proportioning valve only controls from front to back.
I put everything from the left side to the right side and it still pulls left.
A hard left, like it wants to turn, you'd better be ready when hitting the brakes.
The ball joints etc are all OK.
It is a mystery to me..
I'm glad it's dry because it's dangerious to drive if it's wet.

Where and what kind of pads did you put on there? because there is a TSB on this. If they were Ford pads you need to chk that the date codes on the pads are of the same manufacture date. Ford had a problem with packaging,seems they had different material hardness brake pads pkg together. This was a while ago but you might have gottem some .
