Afew things wrong with truck

1. Pulling hard right, bad outside tire wear on front end. I am have heard bad things about alignments. Can a good alignment be done on a 4x4? Any recommendations in LA around BR area?

2. Fuel leak at the top of the motor. Is there a place that typically comes from? When operating, I don't see it leaking, but the pooling is getting bigger. I need a direction to look, searched several threads, to much additional information to search out problem.

Right now the front end it my big worry, I'll tackle the leak next, but really need to get this checked.

Overall truck is really starting to get irritating with all the nickel and dime stuff.

2002 4wd 4dr, single wheel. 152,000 miles.

Yes a proper alignment can be done, just make sure to replace any worn parts or tighten any loose stuff first.

The most common fuel leak (assuming it's not a loose lid or just started with a filter change) is the drain valve o-rings. Here's a link on where to get them that includes instructions on how to change. Replacement O-rings for Diesel Engines
