Your brake issue sounds like a vacuum issue. First check all vacuum lines. Then the pump. The pump is relatively easy to change and not too expensive.

If you need a new tranny, seriously consider BTS. There are other good trannies out there but it will be hard to beat BTS.

Look at what I have done with my 97 in my signature. I can assure you it will blow my son's late 04 Ram off the road.

If you haven't already joined, consider joining the Colorado Powerstroke Club. Colorado Power Stroke Club You'll find lots of Colorado help there.

I know Fort Lupton is a long way from Craig but Rocky at Rockin S Performance can help you with all the things you need to make your truck run stronger than your Ram at a reasonable price, including a BTS.
