I have used the search function here and on the TDR. I have still not found the info I'm looking for. My truck pulls to the right. It seems to be a problem with a few 3 gen trucks. I've noticed it more with the new 35" tires. I took it to the alignment shop (only does frame and alignment stuff) and they said the only fix would be adjustable or different ball joints. The truck only has 20,000 miles and I don't want to replace the ball joints. I've read multiple places about adjusting the caster 3-5 degrees positive. How can I figure out what 3-5 degrees is? Do I just move the cams (with the little ^ )towards the front of the truck? Will this help the pull to the right. I didn't get any numbers from the alignment shop. I've attached two photo's of my current caster setting. Thanks for all your help.

 

A good shop should give you a read out showing what the alignment is on the truck with the factory specs , then knowing if parts are worn or some damage has occurred , pot hole what ever .

 

Mine pulled hard to the left after the level lift was installed. Offset ball joints solved the problem.

I mean to the right.

 

Tons of these go right including mine.From all I've read since the 03 hit the ground is a off set ball joint.2ND gens ALSO did this and had a TSB for a adjustable ball joint.

 

i have the moog adjustable/greaseable ball joints. when i had my truck realigned after replacing the whole entire front end-the alignment guy said my truck was the easiest truck he ever aligned! took him 30 minutes and the alignment was dead on!!!!

 

Heavily crowned roads will make you think alignment is the problem

 

I was hoping there was a cheaper (less expensive) way to fix the pull. I'm guessing its going to cost 4-5 hundred bucks to do the ball joints. Going to try and swap tires around to see if this helps. Thanks

 

what about an air presure adjustment, few lbs different right left, could help, or be the cause

 

Try rotating the tires first. Even if they're new, its cheaper than ball joints and another alignment.
