Try disconnecting the battery and the get inside and push buttons that are giving trouble. The body computer can be completely discharged then. Then reconnect the battery and see if it is normal again.

Testimonial: "push button that give trouble? you mean all of them? traction control, 4x4 radio, but how about the gauges fuel and charging? truck actually charge after looking at it with a volt meter, just gauge show its not, we change all the inside wire harness, inside dash, do a hard reset buy desconecting the battery and holding the 2 connection together over night to reset and discharge all component, we change the fuse box inside the hood, we took one from a 2010 ram and it was connecting straight in there, everything is still the same... we try changing the computer ecm and the module where the key switch, but i beleive both of them need to be reprogram for this pickup because truck start for a couple second then stall, both doing the exact same thing but even with those new component in even if engine dont stay running all other electrical component seem to be the same, im out of idea what else to try, where is the bcm locate? is it inside the fuse box or or ecu? or there another electrical component some where that we are missing? all gound in the hood have being disconect, inspect and clean before reinstalling.. battery new and full charge... lots money invest into this trouble and still nothing,"

SOURCE: Brake/ABS/Traction lights on plus no AC

These problems do not seem to be related at all. The cause of the warm ac air could be several things from a low refrigerant charge to a plugged condensor fins to the compressor clutch not kicking in. You just have to follow a systematic approach when diagnosing these problems.

Engine idle very lumpy and wanting to stall on gear down shift. Sometimes poor on starting until fuel gets through then car runs well but very smelly.

SYMPTOM 1: ROUGH IDLE IN THE COLD

The engine will not idle smoothly, or it stalls during idle when the engine is cold. When the engine is cold and you take your foot off the gas pedal, the engine runs very rough and may even stall. When you run the engine at higher speeds, it seems to run fine, or at least it runs more smoothly.
Possible causes:
  1. If you have a carburetor, you may have a bad accelerator pump or power circuit.
    The Fix: Replace accelerator pump or replace the carburetor.
  2. There may be a vacuum leak.
    The Fix: Check and replace the vacuum lines as required.
  3. There may be some type of ignition problem.
    The Fix: Check and replace the distributor cap, rotor, ignition wires, and spark plugs.
  4. The ignition timing may be set wrong.
    The Fix: Adjust the ignition timing.
  5. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.
    The Fix: Check engine control systems with a scan tool. Test the circuits and repair or replace components as required.
  1. The EGR valve may be bad.
    The Fix: Replace the EGR valve.
  2. The engine may have mechanical problems.
    The Fix: Check the compression to determine the engine's condition.
  3. Idle speed is set incorrectly.
    The Fix: Set idle speed to the car's original settings.
  4. The fuel injectors may be dirty.
    The Fix: Clean or replace the fuel injectors.

SYMPTOM 2: ROUGH IDLE WITH WARM ENGINE

The engine will not idle smoothly, or it stalls during idle when the engine is warm. When the engine is warm or hot and you take your foot off the gas pedal, the engine runs very rough and may even stall. When you run the engine at higher speeds, it seems to run fine.
Possible causes:
  1. If you have a carburetor, you may have a bad accelerator pump or power circuit.
    The Fix: Replace accelerator pump or replace the carburetor.
  2. There may be a vacuum leak.
    The Fix: Check and replace vacuum lines as required.
  3. The fuel pressure regulator may be operating at too low a pressure.
    The Fix: Check the fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge. Replace fuel pressure regulator. (This is not really a do-it-yourself kind of job.)
  4. Idle speed set incorrectly.
    The Fix: Set idle speed to specs.
  5. There may be some type of ignition problem.
    The Fix: Check and replace distributor cap, rotor, ignition wires and spark plugs.
  6. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.
    The Fix: Check engine control systems with a scan tool. Test circuits and repair or replace components as required. (This is not really a do-it-yourself kind of job.)
  7. The EGR valve may be bad.
    The Fix: Replace EGR valve.
  1. The engine may have mechanical problems.
    The Fix: Check compression to determine engine condition.
  2. The fuel injectors may be dirty.
    The Fix: Clean or replace fuel injectors.

SYMPTOM 3: FAST IDLING

The engine idles too fast. After the engine has run long enough to become warm, the idle speed does not come down to normal. You really notice it when you come to a stop and must have to push ******* the brake pedal to keep the car from moving.
Possible causes:
  1. If you have a carburetor, you may have a bad accelerator pump or power circuit.
    The Fix: Replace the accelerator pump or replace the carburetor.
  2. The engine may be overheating.
    The Fix: Check and repair the cooling system.
  3. The fuel pressure regulator may be operating at too low a pressure.
    The Fix: Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge. Replace fuel pressure regulator. (This is not really a do-it-yourself kind of job.)
  1. The ignition timing may be set wrong.
    The Fix: Adjust the ignition timing.
  2. There may be some type of ignition problem.
    The Fix: Check and replace the distributor cap, rotor, ignition wires and spark plugs.
  3. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.
    The Fix: Check the engine control systems with a scan tool. Test the circuits and repair or replace the components as required.
  4. There may be a vacuum leak.
    The Fix: Check and replace vacuum lines as required.
  5. You have a bad idle speed control unit.
    The Fix: Replace the idle speed control unit.
  6. The alternator may not be working properly.
    The Fix: Replace the alternator.

SYMPTOM 4: STALLING UPON STOPPING

Car stalls when stopped quickly. You are driving along and everything is just fine ... until you let off the gas pedal and apply the brakes. The engine starts shaking and may even stall. Not a good thing to happen because you lose power steering when the engine dies and could risk an accident.
Possible causes:
  1. There may be a serious vacuum leak.
    The Fix: Check and replace the vacuum lines as required.
  2. There may be a fault in the computerized engine control system.
    The Fix: Check the engine control systems with a scan tool. Test the circuits and repair or replace the components as required. (This is not really a do-it-yourself kind of job.)
  3. Broken linkage.
    The Fix: Repair or replace the linkage as required.
Idling issues can be very frustrating, but with some patient troubleshooting, you'll have a real chance at figuring it out. Remember to always check your engine idle with the air conditioning and defroster turned off, as both of these systems are designed to change the idle when they are on due to the air conditioning system's demands on the engine.

What causes a pulley on a serpentine belt to stop turning and how can I fix the issue?

The bearings on the idler or tensioner pulley have given up. No cheap fix here. You should fix it now or be prepared to fix a few more things later.

My fix engine light is on and where do i need to go to fix it

To turn off the fix enine light the problem must be fixed. A dealer or a reputable service should be able to find and fix the problem. You can try and remove your negative battery for five minutes, then reconnecting. If the code was intermittent it will not come back. If it is a hard fault, meaning a definite bad component the light will come back on. In this case it needs to be fixed.

Taillights wont work

Replace the "looks fine" bulbs first (cheap fix), then replace the fuses (also cheap fix), if that doesn't fix the problem it could be wiring (may NOT be cheap fix!)....

Codes

RF2560 -  Remote Keyless Entry Validation fault - dealer fix RS0061 -  Right front position sensor fault - dealer fix IP1552 - KAM error (keep alive memory) power loss to instrument panel? - dealer fix IP2419 - instrument panel (unsure) 
I would talk with a dealer re fixes to all these codes. Unless you're a great mechanic and understand advnanced principles of electronics, let the experts fix your expensive (or to fix at least) car.
Sorry not to have better news. Community colleges offer cheap classes in auto repair...
