brakes pulling

hello everybody i,m new here.i was having a problem with the truck pulling bad to the right (bad caliper) so i replaced rotors,calipers,pads, and bearings.my problem is it still pulls to the right but not as bad,it seems to straighten out with steady pressure on the pedal. maybe a bad brake line ? any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you're having "residual pressure". A caliper staying in the "applied" position. To check, drive the vehicle and make about 10 moderate stops from 30 miles. Open the bleeder screw on the wheel in question. It should just trickle. A squirt confirms residual pressure.

change your rubber brake line. i would do both sides just because if you have problems with one then the other being old could go out sometime soon.
