Left under brakes would signal to me, that the right brake isn't clamping as hard the left brake.

I agree^^^^^. You might have rotor or caliber/pad issues on the opposite side that its pulling to.

Ball joints

Whats the proper way of checking?

Check your ball joints, doesn't cost you a dime, then you'll know. I've owned dozens of these trucks and have had the mystery "pulls one way then the other" thing happen before. It was the ball joints every time.

Block the rear tires jack up the front and put both sides on stands and take the wheels off and get a friend to apply the brakes and check both rotors to see if they turn while brake is applied. And while your in there look to see how the inside and outside of the rotors look. Grooves mean they are shot.

Kingsandman,swampfishin, thanx a million..
I guess the truck is now literally asking for that front refresh it needs..

Just call me Sean

I'll vote for calipers too, especially if you recently changed the pads.

check your wheels, they can tell you a lot.
1. Is there more brake dust on one wheel vs the other?
2. after driving feel your wheels up front (careful) is one hot to the touch?

these would be indicators of a brake problem, and should be easy to check, although sometimes overlooked

I agree if it not brakes (which I suspect) then balljoints would be a likely place to check next
