I know this has been discussed before, but I would like to know
if any one has been able to fine the cure for the pulling to the
right. It didnt bother me at first but I'm getting tired of always
holding the wheel to the LEFT. Help ---any one.

 

My brother has Michellins. He had them cross rotated. (It's not supposed to cause separation with the Michellins because of the way they're belted.) It cured the pull.

 

A good alignment to get the camber and the caster set right should fix it. But make sure it is not a tire or wheel first.
Some say they are set up this way to run the truck into a ditch if you fall asleep. I would have make them correct it if I caught it earlier. It is tireing and causes fatigue. NHTS should investigate it.

I think the camber range ( from side to side ) is too wide.
Also it is not adjustable as delivered from the factory. Different ball joints or sleaves are needed to get it correct.

 

Ram,

It is bothersome. I think the trucks are sensitive to the tilt of the road and most of the time the road slopes to the right, making them pull that way. If everything else is correct a stiffer steering damper may help. I'm going to change mine because the 315s add to steering sensitivity caused by road irregularities.
Before doing anything major check out all you can at home.
Make sure the front tires are exactly the same pressure or a pound or two lower on the left side to compensate. Make sure you are not running a tire from the rear on one side of the front since the front and rear have different wear patterns. Also, front tires that have not been rotated can wear different from each other, so if you have high mileage tires switch them from right to left or front to rear. Another small thing is steering wheel alignment. The steering wheel is heavier on the bottom so if it it rotated off center to go straight, it will try to pull back to center and turn the truck (this adjustment is easily done on the drag link that runs across at an angle from the steering box to the passenger wheel and does not affect the wheels allignment).
I played around with mine in these ways and now I don't notice the problem.

Cross your two front tires and drive it again. If it goes straight or pulls left, the tires are most likely the cause. Ocasionally a radial tire will cause a pull to one side. Another thing to do is have a competent alignment shop "check" the alignment. You should select a company that has a four wheel alignment machine. Although the rear is not adjustable, taking readings with all four heads compensated will give you more information, including the rear thrust angle. If the alignment is in spec. you should not have to pay. If the alignment is out of spec. you now have evidence to strengthen your case with DC. There are several places here in my city that offer a completely free alignment check. Let us know the results. -v12xke

 

Thank you for the info. I have rotated the tires from back to
front and also cross rotated them. I also run about 4lb's
more on the right front but it doesent help. When I drive on the
other side of the road it stays straight. I will be getting a
alignment done. But the tires are look perfect as far as wear
goes. Here in my home town you pay the full price for aligning
even if they dont change any thing. Thank you all.

 

One more thing I've been wondering is if too much toe in could cause a pull to the right. These trucks are heavier on the left side with the fuel tank and driver on that side. This could be as much as 400 lbs or so. This condition would give the left front tire more traction. As the two front tires are trying to roll toward each other slightly, the left would have more traction and cause a pull to the right.
Hmmm, maybe.
It's hard to believe AAM got the caster angle or camber wrong on all the axles, or that Dodge wanted it that way.

I noticed with my 12 valve that the heavier the load themore it pulled to the right. I just thought the motor's torque was doing right side tug.
