The brakes are unevenly calibrated. The brake on one side is applying first, and with more power than the other side.

Under the brake pedal is a brake light switch that when you press the pedal it hits it and makes your lights come on..sometimes when they get weak the pedal depresses them simply from the weight of the pedal and they stay on..Have a friend get inside the truck and pull UP on the brake pedal as you look at the lights..if the brake lights go off when they pull up on it..then it is that switch under the brake pedal

How do you undo your parking brake?

There should be a parking brake lever above the parking brake pedal that you pull to disengage the parking brake. It depends on the type you have; if it is a pull-up lever in your center console they can give you a little trouble. Pull it up slightly and while you have upward pressure press and hold the button on the end, than it will drop.

What causes 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT to shake and pull to the left when putting on breaks?

you may have a warped rotor which will cause the "shake" and the pulling to the left you have a brake caliper may be frozen not allowing the brake to grab or your pads have worn uneven due to the warped rotor. If the truck is pulling to the left check the right side for the wear. If the pads are thinner than the left then have the rotor turned at your local auto parts store before replacing your brakes
