06 2500 reg cab slt 4x4. I had my tires balanced, all four tires set at 55 psi, now my truck likes to pull to the left, when I brake, my truck pulls to the right, I don't have time to get into the dealer this week, and it's getting worse, any one else have thease issues on the 06 2500?

I'm at 7000 KM.

 

If it is pulling the right when you brake you probably have a caliper hanging up on the left front. Seems odd with no more miles than it has on it but in a disc brake system that is about all that can cause a pull when braking. As far as the pull to the left you may want to have the dealer check out the alignment. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, I'm just trying to offer solutions, good luck.

 

I would have to agree with the caliper hanging up also. But I would think that if it is pulling to the right, then the bad caliper would be on the right side, not the left. The pulling to the left while driving I would have to say that it is an alignment issue. Maybe the 'toe' is off.

 

Id think it would just be the left caliper and not an alignment issue. If you think about it, if the left caliper is hung up then while driving it would pull to the left and while braking only the right would be working correctly causing more of a pull to the right than the left. Id still go get the alignment checked out afterwards but Id put my money on it having to do with just the left caliper getting hung, stuck or constantly engaged.

 

On servere cases I've seen the calipers turn the brake rotors a bluish color. Check and see if they smell bad, or are discolored.

 

If the left caliper is hung-up, by which I meat the piston is stuck and is not extending from the housing when the brakes are applied, then it would not function. It would pull to the right because the right side caliper is the only one operating correctly. I'm just trying to explain the theory here, not be an *** or anything like that.

 

You have the right Idea however I'm still going to bet that the left caliper is extended and stuck in that possition which would be causing the pull to the left and as you said when the right caliper is the only one working correctly it will cause the truck to pull to the right. Think of it this way, roll a pen or bottle or something cylentrical arccos the ground and as it passes put your hand out and stop one side from moving. The other side will continue to roll around towards the side you stopped which is the general idea of what is happening in this situation.

 

I pulled booth the front wheals and swapped them out with the rears, pads, calipers and booth front rotors appear to be ok. Thiers no brake dust on the rims. My main concern now is getting this resolved, My truck is not safe to drive in this state.

Getting my truck into a dealer is hard, I'm on the road five days a week and my dealer runs sparse hours on Saterdays, oil tire rotation's only, Should I rent a truck threw the dealer, or would a shop like Midas, ect be able to resolve this?

Bottom line is I never ever had good luck with Ford dealers ( when i owned Fords, or GM when I owned chevys ) and I'm skeptical of haviong my dealer go threw my truck and B/S thier way out of the repair process....

The clutch is acting up, ( sound like the pressure plate is clanging after releasing the clutch ) idle is at a 1000 rpm, even in N, revs don't go down at all...

On second thought, I will bite the cost of a rental and book my truck in, I bought my truck at Courtasy Chrysler here in Calgary Alberta, Tower chrysler is close to where I live, any thoughts on who has the better service department?

Truck only has 7000 Km on it, I'm getting tired driving it like it has 70000000 Km on it..

othier wise, truck is awsome.

 

Please let us know what they find, I'm curious to see what ends up being wrong with it.

Truckin, not looking for an argument but considering my I am ASE certified in brakes, I'm pretty sure I am right, I could be wrong but I doubt it.

 

I just had a thought that a rotor could be warpped, this would anser the braking question...as for the alignment/tracking I will grab my garden hose, wet down some pavement and drive threw and check the tread patrens on the dry pavement....

I will keep you posted on what the dodge doctors say...Tuesay I will book my truck in...
