    Ok everything i listed as wrong with the truck has been addressed, the clutch has been adjusted, they checked the brakes, they were out of spec and needed greased and adjusted. The shop claims it's back to where they are supposed to be. Said he road tested it and that it didnt to it on him. I'm under a 45k load of beams, guess we will see what it does.

    You need to get that checked. Imagine if you pulled that hard on winter ice.

    Gunner if it acts up again have them check the brake spider, I've seen those crack which causes them to flex and pop and the realign themselves....to get a good look the brakes must be removed.

    Mine does the same thing. Where does it crack? I just had front brakes on mine but the left still pops and pulls under hard braking.

    Mine was doing it when I'd have to brake hard, but he adjusted the slack adjuster, and greased the rod. It's only done it a couple of times since then
