Default Steering Problem

Alright guy I need some help. My father in law has a 2000 Ram 2500 truck and when I'm driving it the goofy things pulls to the left. The funny things is he took it into the shop and had new tires put on it and its been aligned twice. Every body says the alignment is good. Whats wierd about it is you can be driving around 60 mph and let go of the steering wheels and it will drive straight for a while then it just jerks to the left. Is it the steering box? The reason I'm asking is I have to drive it about 160 miles one way next week to pick up a tractor. I would hate for something to happen while I'm driving.

I had steering issue similar to this on my 01--I replaced the track bar and put on a solid steel steering stabilizer

www.solidsteel.ca

It really helps--the factory track bars on these pickups wear out and road vibration will travel through the suspension and everything suffers as a result.
