Pulls to the right, anybody else?
I have a 3500 DRW 4x4 that pulls to the right. Doesn't matter which side of the crown of the road I'm on it still pulls to the right. Right front tire outside shoulder appearing to be wearing faster also. Truck only has about 900 miles on it. I'm judging tire wear by the little rubber fuzzies (******* : ) that come on new tires the left front is pretty even from side to side, where the right front is gone on the outside and almost like new on the inside. I know this was a problem on the 2nd gens, guess it is still a problem? I haven't rotated tires to see if this is radial runout, could be that, but that sure seems to get overused by tire dealers as an explanation of pulling. Haven't been to the dealer yet to check alignment. Looks like toe and caster are the only adjustments. Other than the 2000 rpm vibration and this I really like the truck.
Thanks for your help.

Hey you said *******..(i'd put a smile here but for some reason it does not work)
Why don't you just take it in and have the alignment checked? Especially if it is wearing the tire. That's what the warranty is for. Possible that the alignment in Mexico was off.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
Re:Pulls to the right, anybody else?
Your vehicle was built way south of you, closer to the equator. You are considerably further north so consequently the rotation of the earth and other sundry natural laws come into effect and cause this pull to the right. Drive south of the equator and you will find that it starts to pull to the left.
Joking aside, mine also pulled a little but what really concerned me was that my steering was a little stiff. Took it to the dealer and they found a defective steering box. They replaced it, did an alignment and it has been great ever since.
If you believe my first paragraph, PM me as I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale.
