The brakes are not your issue, it is the gear ratio on the truck.

Looks like you should do a gear change to me.

I would love to see that same link for my 2006 Dodge 2500 CTD Quad Cab. I;ve looked all over for that same info and not ever found anything like that. Can you hook me up w/ that info? Much appreciate your help.
