went and had my tires balanced and rotated. after i left, i noticed my truck pulling to the right.i thought it was just the crown of the road. but i noticed when i got home, there was two balancing weights on the driver side tire and only one on the passenger side tire. could that do it??

Nope, those few ounces will not shift weight balance enough to make a truck pull. Check your tire pressures with an accurate gauge. If you find them to be equal or very near equal (1-3 pounds) then I'd go to an alignment shop and get that sorted out.

It's perfectly normal for different numbers of weights to be on each wheel, since each wheel/tire combo may be off independant of the other. Not only the number, but the size of the weights can vary. Sometimes 1 large weight will suffice, others may require 3 small weights scattered around the rim etc.
