Hi, I got it fixed today. It was the passenger side hose that was clogged. Now it stops straight. Thanks for helping me get to the problem.

REAL happy to hear it's fixed but I'd love to know what happened to it and how they diagnosed it. Some car and minivan hoses have metal brackets in the middle of the hoses that can develop rust buildup and squeeze the hose but your truck shouldn't have that. Other people have also found hoses causing similar problems on other brands of vehicles, but other than those brackets, I can't remember the last time I had a defective hose that looked good from the outside.

Well today I called my auto parts man and he said to go to a friend of his who is a great alignment guy and mechanic. So I went and we drove around the area to show him what the truck was doing(pulling right). So the other day I replaced the driver side hose and greased the caliper pins, thinking that driver side was not working. Well he said what you have is the side that is pulling is getting brake fluid but not letting it back out. Sticking. So he said replace the other hose and come to my shop later. So I did. Well when I left my driveway to test it out, it stopped straight.I got to his shop and he fixed the small alignment issue. And he said how about doing vacuum bleed, and I said hell yes. That cleaned out all of the crap and water and any air. I am very happy now that it is fixed and have learned a lot.
