So, when I bought my V2500 it pulled to the right when stopping. That was a little over 2 years ago and I've done a lot of work since then. Included in that was new brakes on all 4 wheels, new shocks, and I rebuilt the front end completely. Today, after all this time I thought for sure that the issue was the leaf springs, in particular the right front, was just shot so I had all the leaf springs replaced along with the bushings and U-bolts. It still pulls to the right when you brake though it is better which I attribute to the stiffer springs. I suppose the brakes could be at fault but it was doing it before and after I replaced the calipers. I suppose it could be something with the front end (alignment?) as I seem to recall that one shop mentioned that the front end needed some shims for the alignment to be completely correct (can't remember which adjustment that was). I suppose it could be the proportioning valve which is original.
Anyone have any thoughts on what to check? It would be nice to get this licked...
