i dont think thats true, my unit just got a 2013 malibu and it drives 100% straight. idk if its like that for our trucks but this pull, imo, would be a little too much to be done intentionally. but it is a good idea, i'll have to do some research on it. thanks 08

04 = solid axle right?
Some tires just follow the crown of the road bad on solid front ends, most notably, Toyo MT's for example. I have them on my 2500 and they usually pull to the right, because I'm usually on the right hand side of the road
But on dirt, no pull, and if on a 4 lane, if I go to the left lane, and there is a crown, it will pull left.
Search Toyo and right hand pull and you will see what I mean.

its an IFS WR450, but i get what u mean. and if im in the left lane by "accident" for a sec it doesnt pull as much if any. it it might be the roads b/c i normally travel only 2 lane roads(one lane each way) and gunbunny, thats a good theory too. i will have to check it out as well. thanks guys.

the built in pulling to the right is for rear wheel drive vehicles only. front wheel drives are supposed to pull to the right when you let off the gas IE go to sleep driving.
It is usually not even noticeable on most vehicles now days. but it is built in to the alignment.. Federal mandated so as to help avoid head on collisions.. of course if you floor the front wheel drive as you fall asleep look out oncoming traffic.

Ive never heard of any vehicle designed to pull to the right so if you fall asleep it rolls you into a ditch, tree, pole, ect.

im just sayin'
