Trucks pulls to the right under breaking.

The truck is starting to pull to the right on the freeway when I break. Its not that bad right now but it will get worse soon. I have had this issue before on a different vehicle and this is the first sign of the caliper going bad. RockAuto has some calipers for sale for this truck and I was wondering if any of you guys ever changed your calipers and which ones did you get?

jack the front end up , and see if the caliper is dragging .... I would then suspect you are correct in your assumption .

Found why the truck was pulling to the right. This is the drive side caliper, as you can also see the break pad on that side is also a slight bigger. It started acting like this only for a month or two, if I would of not change the caliper the difference in break pad wear would of been drastic and would destroy my alignment.
