Alignment Question

I was out west bouncing along BLM tracks this past August and when I have returned to the flatland's I have noticed a pull to the left but only when on left leaning crown of the road. IE - fast lane. So took my truck to local tire shop, purchase tires and alignment at this shop and had them rotate the tires. The alignment read out shows the right front camber is out by .4 and he is telling me this is not adjustable. Emailed local dealer service shot and included the alignment print out, heard crickets, no response.
See attachment from the shop, is this right, this is non-adjustable and what would I have had to do to bump this out like this?

Thanks.

So it is adjustable, thanks just needed some validation.
Going to take it to the dealer, can't ignore me when I standing there.

caster is adjustable look at the bottom front of your front lower control arm you will notice their is a cam set up. That adjusts caster. No if you told them your camber was off that is not adjustable, well it is but takes more work but can be done with special shims or offset ball joints neither which is desirable...In reality tho not like your caster is terribly far off.

Grant is a doofus.

Also, align per Thuren specs which is (IIRC) .00 toe, at the very most .05 toe-in. The toe on your truck is also off.

 
Got the truck back from local dealer, surprise, surprise, surprise, the right front tire camber is in the green but it shows total toe is out. Difference in machine?

Seat of the pants feel, an improvement, when on the interstate in the far left hand lane I have minimal pull to the left. I'm not well versed in alignment tech but I do know when there is a problem up front.

Thanks for the help.

yes difference in machine but it is not your total toe that was out it was the steer ahead. they adjusted your toe which helped correct the steer ahead. even the before was not bad tho, just resting your hand on the front tire can change the results. looks good.
