dodge life problems
hey guys been awhile since i posted on here, but im having a ton of problems with my 07 2500,
i just put fox shocks, metal cloak control arms, all new front brakes calipers rotors pads last week, i put eh thuren track bar in her back in febuary, i have 2 1/2 extreme duty springs, i also have rear airbags, and my truck has factory wheels with 35 trail grapplers
1 of my problems is, that driving down the road it pulls left consistantly makes your hand tired, and when you press the brakes it slightly pulls to the right, then straightens up, i was kinda thinking i needed to replace the rear brakes, but it feels like its being pulled from the front, so im not sure is there any other problems i might be missing, i know wheel bearings are tight to. my mechanic couldnt figure it out, im gonna send it back but id like some ideas to give him!
now my next issue is that, my truck when cruising at 20km everytime it just upshifts n down shifts constantly until you speed up or slow down, so when im driving in the parking lots my trucks revving up and down up and down, it does it at like 50km aswell 65ish i believe to, or in that area, will a tune fix this? drives me effin nuts when im plowing snow or hauling.
my third issue is...... tipm... not impressed at all with that nonesense, is there a way around is i miss having 2 headlights and high beams, but its hard to cough 4 digits after all this other crap im fixing for a not even "fixed" issue that could fail again in a cpl years...
any input would appreciated,

It sounds like the left caliper is seized, causing some friction while the brakes are disengaged, pulling the truck left.. Then, when you hit the brake, the one free caliper (passenger side) engages, and yanks everything the other direction.
The gear-hunting issue, I'm not so sure about.

Pulling- has it done it since you installed the new track bar? Can your model be adjusted to compensate? Have you done steering stabilizer lately? I had same issue with stock wheels, 35s, and left pull- I put a Bilstein 5100 steering stabilizer and it fixed me.
Trans- sounds like you need a govner solenoid and transducer. Shuttle shift from 1-2 or hunting is really common. A Borg Warner solenoid and transducer (generic) should run about $60 - drop the trans pan and they are easy to replace. You'll need 5-7 quarts of mopar fluid to fill it back up depending how long it sits before you change it.
TIPM- don't bother messing with it. These trucks are so finicky with the electrical- go on Amazon and buy a 30" light bar for $50 to mount between your tow hooks. Way brighter than stock hi/lo and won't **** off your computer!
