X pulls when braking
My 2000 X 4x4 pulls to the left when braking. I replaced all 4 rotors w/ power slot and ceramic pads and also replaced drivers side calipur and changed brake fluid but pulling is still there. Why?

You just answered it. It pulls to the left and you replaced the drivers side caliper... I'd investigate the right side - all your braking action is going to the left and none or little to the right thus pulling you to the left.

And dont forget the brake lines can be rusting on the right side, crushing the line, and inhibiting fluid pressure from making it to the caliper. The caliper pins can be froze, the piston can be sticking.....I would almost want to start with the brake hose, cheap and easy. Then I would blame the caliper...unless I can look and inspect the caliper and see something obvious.

So you replaced both or just the drivers as stated before, Im confused...
Another thing to check is that there are no air bubbles in the lines. Air compresses more than fluid as we all know so one caliper will be stronger than the other. If the pulling is quite strong, I would have the other caliper looked at. If it isn't TOO bad, then it could just be that you accidently got air in the lines. What did you use to change the fluid?
