Two things?

First, my truck has recently had new ball joints installed and an alignment. It's much better than before but there is still a ever so slight pull to the right and the steering wheel has to be held just a little off center to the left when driving straight. What could cause this?

Second, my AC is cold coming out of the two vents on the driver's side but just cool coming out of the two vents on the passenger side What could cause this?

Thank you!

For what its worth, I have had 3 Dodges and everyone of them I had to hold the wheel slightly off center to maintain a strait track.

For the a/c issue. I had a somewhat similar issue, and was under warrantee at the time. They said who ever assembled the flaps ??? that direct the air did not assemble them properly. One was loose and not position as it should. All they did was fix the original flaps correctly and I have not had an issue since.

Your a/c is more than likely low on freon. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. My wife's truck was doing the same thing and I gave it a shot of freon and all is well now. Not sure why, but when they get low on freon they will do this. You can do a search, it's a well-known issue on this forum.

my ac has a small leak and the first sign is the passenger side is a bit warmer. Id' get the shop to recheck the alignment and or rotate the tires. sometimes a tire can cause a little pulling

Ditto on checking freon charge.

About the pulling, are the roads crowned there? Both of my dodges are/were sensitive to a road surface not level.

Some are and some are not you might have something there because the tires have about 4000 miles on them and I don't see any uneven wear yet.

Most alignments shops (at least the ones I deal with) will set the alignment with a slight pull to the right for safety reasons. With a crown in the road it's more noticeable.
