: Need info - Grinding sound, pull to right

I'd appreciate any help on this.
I just turned 600 miles so the truck is still new to me.

I left a parking lot onto a busy street, so as I made the right turn exit, I was accelerating into traffic. I wouldnt say that it was flooring the pedal, but I needed to get out there so it wasnt a mellow start either.

I heard what sounded like a grinding noise through the turn, but then everything seemed fine. No lights on the dash came on. But then, at the next few stop lights, the truck pulled to the right upon acceleration (but not on braking). That happened about 4 or 5 times from a start. Now it seems normal again.

Was that the traction control system or something? If it pulled consistently since hearing that noise, I'd think I broke something. Now I am just trying to figure out what had happened.

BTW..the primary question is why the truck would pull, if this was indeed the VSA kicking in. I did a search and see some others experienced similar problems but no mention of the continued pulling.
