The thrust alignment being off just makes the truck "crab walk" a bit down the road. Still the tires track straight but the body is a bit off. If it's way off the rear tires won't follow the same track as the front. I dont think .17 is bad. There is an accuracy of analysis in play with all of this stuff, not the range of acceptable specs but the difference in readings you would get if you measured it over and over without changing anything. They used to do alignments with strings all the time but I believe even the best lazer systems even when brand new might be variable to .05 degrees. Plus set whatever specs, drive the car around the block and numbers that precise will be changed already.
