Bad break job?
I had my brakes done about a week ago, and i never liked the mechanic but who am i to complain its the companys money anyways, the truck drove completley streight on the old pads, now it pulls severly to the left during normal braking and the pedal is very sensitive to the degree if you apply gentile pressure the brakes will lock skidding the truck. I got a little time off so the van dosent need to be driven this week so i think im going to take to a local mechanic where ive been going to for years and been satisfied 100% of the time if this is a little problem it would be nice to know to help lessen the probelm Thanks!

take it back to where ever you had the work done, and take them for a ride.
if they are a halfway decent place, they will do the right thing and fix it for you.

For a starts it sounds like you need to seat the brake pad's. Take the truck some where on a paved road with no traffic and do a half dozen, or so heavy duty brake pedal to the metal stops and see if this If doesn't help the situation. Take it back to this sweety pie mechanic and make him fix it/

Well i got the van back today and the mechanic said the "apprentace" did it and did it wrong, I got 2 new front rotors, because the un set pads and the improporley torqued bolts warped them and new calipers all free of charge and now its actully stopping normal.

Good work on getting that corrected. They are lucky they didn't send you through a red light at an intersection with those messed up brakes. You would have been suing them for a lot more than new rotors if that happened. Glad it worked out for you.
