Default Bi-polar brakes

What's up guys..

2003 6.0 recently been dealing with some brake trouble. 2 out of 5 times I press the brake pedal the truck will jerk to the right. Harder I hit the brakes the harder the truck pulls. Again, this is not a constant problem. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

I have only noticed this happening shortly after I turn on my headlights, could just be coincidence but the issue has never occurred during day light with my lights off.

I have read many posts about similar problems. But nothing that comes and goes like it has a mind of its own. Everything i am finding online talks about a constant pull whenever riding the brakes.

Thanks for any help!

Did you ever solve this issue?

Im having a similar issus and i believe it to be the caliper slides not properly lubed but i havent worked up enough ambition to pull them and check.
