lately i have noticed a slight pull to the left when i apply the brake pedal going forward, and when backing up if i apply the brakes i feel a slight pull to the right. Anybody have an answer for this. Any suggestions? Thank you

It is hard to diagnose a problem long distance, but if it was my truck the first thing I would check is the control arm bushings. Bad control arm bushings often cause your described symptoms and will also make a clunking noise when hitting the brake when going from drive to reverse.

Good luck

Got road salt in your area? You might be feeling a brake caliper slider pin that doesn't slide so well anymore meaning the brake doesn't engage as well as it should. Pulling to the left means the right front brake's performance may not be up to snuff IIRC.

Of course it could just be an under/over inflated tire...
