    Default pulls to the left

    2003 Silverado 2500 HD 6.0L 4x2 ext. cab 4-DR 4 wh. disc
    Problem I'm having is that @ stops my truck pulls to the left @ the last couple of feet before it stops rolling. The steering wheel turns to the left by itself. I can correct easily. If I pull up to a stop very slowly it will not do it. The only thing related to this would be the front brake job it rcvd. 3 mo. ago.
    Powerslot discs and Hawk LT pads. I upgraded to assist our travel trailer (32') even though it has it's own elec. brakes. A little extra braking never hurt. No fluid evident @ calipers. Just did tire rotation and truck still pulls. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

    The slide pins the front caliphers ride on could need to be lubed.

    I had this happen in my car, but I think its the fact that only the back brakes work...

    this happend in my silverado, it was because the piston in the caliper on the opposite side was sticking because of no lube. check that out and see if thats the problem.
