I have a 96 6.5 Diesel 8 lug Suberban that when I put on the brakes it pulls to the right.I have replaced the rotors & calibers the rubber brake hoses to both wheels and nothing helps. the right side will go through pads faster than the driver side , I have a good pedal but it always pulls to the right . Ihave even backed up on a dry rd and hit the brakes hard and the right side will lock up way before the driver side... any ideas would be great I don't like to let the wife use it like this, or myself as well
thanks

you master cylinder may be bad and you should take it off and rebuild it or replace it on, then put it on and bleed it then bleed each wheel.

try sanding and greasing up the brake caliper side rails really good.
