Default 04 Tundra Drifting to the right?

I have a 04 Tundra with 8k miles on it that constantly drifts to the right? I've had back to the dealer twice for frontend alignments and it still drifts. I droped it off again today to have them look at it, told them to look for a dragging brake or something else becasue the alignments just aren't fixing the problem? If I let go of the wheel for more then 2-3 seconds it's headed for the side of the road?
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

Have the tires checked. I had one with a radial pull that was horrendous!!! Changed tires and all was fixed. I was even told that I should bring my car to a frame shop(by the idiot that sold me the tires!!!)

Default Tire pull

Check for tire pull as follows:
(1)Jack up one side in center so both tires are off ground. Of course chock the opposite side! Mark tires with chalk RF and RR or LF and LR.
(2)Swap front and rear tires.
(3)Drive

If pull goes away, you have identified a bad tire. Swap other side if pull remains.

You may want to have the tire on the spare wheel relocated to a roadworthy wheel and move the offending tire to the spare.
