2000 X- HELP with wandering
I recently drove to Lancaster pa (about 120 miles) and the truck drove great, straight as an arrow at 65+ MPH. On return trip if I go over 45 it wants to wander to the right. The truck has 33, 000 miles. Steering is tight, newer tires, stops straight and no problems below 45. My mechanic says front end is tight and aligned. I had a suburban that had similiar problem and it as a steering/speed sensor. Does anyone have experience with this or have any ideas?

Or just cut to the chase and get on LandYot's waiting list for his Radius Rods.

If I thought for an instant that this would help I would. Something has broke as this happened all of a sudden. A front eend guy doesn't think they would help fix the problem only mask the situation for me a little

You may be correct.
If one way everything was fine and the other way it wasn't...well...either something broke or two different road crews made the roads. Wel...actually the latter could be true.
Anyway...Maybe more info could help us...
#1 Is your truck a 2WD or 4WD?
#2 What did you do in Lancaster? Dijya just go there and come back within the day?
#3 Did you do some 4 wheeling?
#4 Anything out of the ordinary happen (with the truck)?
#5 Does it only pull when you're accelerating? Does it pull "back" if you let off the gas?
#6 Does it pull in every lane?
#7 Does it still pull on the roads in which YOU KNOW it drove straight and true on before?
#8 Did you check the tire pressure in all your tires?

try rotating the tires and see if it still pulls. if it doesn't pull then you have a tire problem. as for one of the hubs being locked, is it possible?? mine has auto locking hubs and they are not able to be locked or unlocked manually. but again try rotating the tires--it's the easy way out first.
