Well I got it fixed. It’s driving perfectly now. Talk about a puzzle factory. My left toe and castor needed a little adjustment but that was not it. Radial pull. Because of the size of the tires and swapping winter tires out rom summer tires. It took a few hours but they literally had to swap tires around until it drove straight. It turned out that my left rear tire was out. So they switched tires until it went straight. Hard to believe but that’s what it was. I can understand why some dealerships do not want to do this. It takes time and is a frustrating process. But I kid u not. My truck is an arrow now.

I have the Torsen, and my truck does not pull left or right. The steering feels heavier in 4A or 4H but it does not pull.

Just started having this issue recently, truck pulls to the right hard on acceleration. After reading your comment, it all made sense. I just had one brand new tire installed in the rear due to an accident a couple of months ago, then soon after did an oil change and tire rotation and thats when it started. I am guessing the new tire made its way to the front during the rotation and the difference in wear between the new tire and the old one is what is causing it.

Yes. I found it hard to believe that radial pull could do that as I had no issues with my gen 1 raptor going though several sets of tires. Proper tire rotation is what it took to stop my pull.
