Gosh... I guess I'm going to look like an old fool... after nearly 40 years
in this business, I see no reason to replace calipers in pairs.... I have
replaced calipers that leak... I have replaced calipers that are siezed... I
have replaced calipers that are physically damaged... I have never replaced
calipers because the one on the other side of the car/truck had a
problem..... WHY WOULD I??????

Why did you replace the caliper and hose.... your post is unclear as to the
reason but I feel it may have to do with the pull..... even though you make
it sound like the pull to the left is a new development.

What year Ranger? 4WABS or RABS?

If the vehicle pulls to the left during braking, the first assumption is
that the right side isn't contributing to braking effort.... Don't discount
the rear brakes as having an effect on the brake feel...
