Dakota Pulls when Braking

I have a 2002 Dakota 4X4 and when I brake the truck pulls to the left. I verified the calipers and both pistons retract fine. There was some dirt on the caliper carriers but had them cleaned and truck still pulls to left when braking. Also checked tire pressure and that was ok. Any ideas out there as to what might be the cause?
Thanks

I agree it could be worn suspension components. Also have pads been changed recently? Have you checked brake fluid level? It is possible you have got an air pocket in the brake lines. When was last time you bled your brakes? These are all possibilities. Have you had your upper ball joints replaced by dealership since the recall on your truck? The lowers are not part of the recall, so if there is something wrong with them they are out of your pocket. Answer these ?'s and we'll either find your problem or at least eliminate a bunch of possibilities. One more too. When was last time wheels were balanced? Just because calipers compress, doesn't mean they are good either.

I had the same problem today after I had the pads and rotors changed and then the brakes got like manual feeling and it started to smoke real bad. I think a little futher and a fire would have occured. that is how hot the rotors got and the tire itself.
does anyone know what would cause something like that??
