Is it pulling again, or there is hardly any braking force at all?

As for the pulling, is it a gradual pull, or more so it wants to yank the steering wheel out of your hands?

What year is your truck?? Vacumn boost or hydroboost brake system, Rwal system or ABS system? What code? Since it resets with key off it's not a hard code and you have a pulling problem I would guess your truck is four wheel drive since you have a pulling problem. Most likely 2500Ram 1998 or 1999.
