Continental tires...

I have, on my doorstep, two 08 SDs... damned near identical... F350, 4X4, crew cab, 6.4... Both pull to the left... both with Continental tires (I have my own opinion of these gems)...

 

The first one I got with 3000 kms and rotated the tires (properly - not just front to back). No joy... Checked alignment - I couldn't have picked better numbers. Hotline was closed for Friday and I decided to try some "unique" numbers... For those that know.... I set my caster split at minus a half degree...

 

Truck drove great when it left.... Then, the second truck showed up - rotated tires properly with no change.... Hotline asked me to do the "unique" thing again - caster split to the wrong side and if that didn't work, time for tires... They've had "some" reports of this or similar conditions...

 

Anyone else seen this?

After reading this Jim I have noticed a couple trucks that drift a little more then they should. We had a couple 2006 trucks that would do strange things on the highway. Those were rear end related and were corrected by loosening the rear axle and shifting it.
