Torque steer when in 4WD

[BHoward6.6]

So I was at the drag strip a few weeks ago, on the last pass the truck (in 4WD) was pulling to the left (drivers side), I had the wheel turned 1/4 turn to the right and the truck was still pulling to the left, hard enough I had to let out of it. Now It pulls to the left in 4WD when I give er fuel, the more fuel the more it pulls to the left. When I am coasting all is good.

Any one have any idea's what is making this happen

check to see if there is any play in your idler and pitman arm and the tie rods. mine did the same thing before i put on rare parts tie rods and new idler/pitman and braces and lowered the front end back to stock. the idler and pitman arms had a ton of play in them.

Have someone drive your truck and watch the front end when they launch the truck.

Are your torsion bar bolts out?

I don't recall this happening before I went to the track last time. I have tie-rod sleeves. How do you check to see if there is any play in the idler, pitman arm and the tie rods?
Torsion bar bolts are good.

So I removed all my steering components Tue evening, took about 2 or 3 hours. The pitman arm was not to bad with a custom puller

.
Started the install of the Kryponite CL, tie-rods, idler box, idler gusset, moog pitman & idler arms, cognito Pitman / Idler support kit, and Bilstein Steering Stabilizer at 3:30 and was done at 7:00.
Install was pretty straight foward, hardest part was holding the massive CL up while threading the nut on the pitman arm.
The alignment came out perfect thanks to Firestone. The steering feels great, no play in it now, before I had over 3". The turning radius seems the same and no parts are rubing. My 4WD launches are straight.
The Kryptonite Gusset is a work of art.
