if theres nothing wrong with the drivetrain then its called torque steer. the power of the engine makes the truck "steer" to the right

mine used to do that if i didn't have very good traction on the rear wheels.

i know exactly what ya mean with those wheels. I had a set and totally had re-tune to suit them. It wouldn't engage second gear with them on. Just couldn't rev high enough.
