Truck pulls hard left when on brakes

2002 Ford F-250 7.3L auto 4x4 truck pulls hard to the left when I get on the brakes. The tire pressures are good. Have not had a opportunity to check for possible warped rotor or anything like that.

Could be caused by contaminated linings, misadjusted brakes, a bad wheel cylinder or caliper, dragging brakes on one side or loose wheel bearings. Can also be caused by a mismatch of friction materials side-to-side on the front brakes or differences in rotor thickness, type or condition warped rotors.

I replace both callipers on my 2002 ford f-250 and it was a pretty penny to get the parts and to have someone do it. They did all the brake pads on the inside and the outside front and back as well. When they did the front brakes they noticed the callipers were dual piston callipers and they were stuck inside the caliper and wasnt doing their job. Apparently the pistons got rusty and seized up in the caliper body. So that could be a possibility.
