Trucks done it since I got it.... had new rotors and pads. Just replace a perfectly "looking like brand new" rotor that was warped... What could it be? Hoses? Caliber? There's no dragging and all front end suspension parts been replaced. Thanks

How old is the power steering pump?

any air in the lines and bled properly? possible collapsing or pinched line that is releasing pressure slower? Unevene lines?

I've never bled the lines as I've never opened them up. I guess I could give that a shot. The hoses are originals.

I bet you a dollar to a donut that it's the PS pump. It doesn't seem logical, but if it's not a brake/rotor problem, 9 times out of 10 it will stop if you replace the pump.

Perhaps the right brake hose is restricted or closed shut? A crack of the bleed screw would tell.

When it pulls does it feel like the steering wheel is getting yanked out of your hands or is it like the whole truck just pulls. That should narrow it down to front or rear brakes/suspension.

Well if it's cold out it'll tank the steering to the left. After it's fine wanted up it very little.

If steering wheel is pulling hard right and you have replaced the steering pump whats your next suggestion?

Jack the front end up and check the steering sytem for wear like the pitman arm and the tie rod ends going to the spindles for movement. You wiggle the tires side to side and up and down.
