When I apply the brakes it pulls the truck to the left.
What is causing this. Would bleeding the brakes help?

Hi:

If the system hasn't been opened, it shouldn't need bled. On the other hand, it could be caused by a couple things. First, are all of the front end components (Tie rods, ball joints...) in good condition? If so, you may have a stuck caliper which isn't working. Did you check tire pressure?
