2019 Ram 2500 — car pulls right even though alignment is green

CityDaily186Community StarterMay 31, 20262019 Ram 2500 CumminsCharlotte
2019 Ram 2500 Cummins, about 25,500 miles. Alignment printout is within spec, but the car still wants to drift right on a flat road. Tire pressures match. Would you cross-rotate tires to check radial pull, or look harder at caster/camber side-to-side? I am in Charlotte.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2019 Ram 2500 before a big repair or a big spend. Then you'll know the next fork. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2019 Ram 2500 owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2019 Ram 2500, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. No need to make it theatrical. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

This is from a 2019 Ram 2500 in Charlotte with 25,500 miles. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2019 Ram 2500 in Charlotte, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “car pulls right even though alignment is,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the sequence I'd use. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Thanks — that narrowed it. I'm going to try the simpler check on the 2019 Ram 2500 first. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Useful. I'll report back after I verify that on my 2019 Ram 2500. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Any freeze-frame data saved? Make the next action something you can finish this week. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

I parked the 2019 Ram 2500 and wrote down what I already tested so I'm not repeating myself. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
