Hey John

You might want to get the alignment checked. I test drove a new 97 about a
week ago and noticed the same thing, The saleman said alot of them do that.
He said they strap them down so tight on the truck during shipping that it
knocks the alignment off. Hope thats all it is...

Alan...

P.S. Congrats on your new truck!
