Default 96 Dodge Ram DTC issues

hey guys, i bought a 96 dodge ram 1500 5.2lt recently. no codes when i bought it but go figure a week later they pop up! ha, anyways i have the following

P0138
o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2, ill just replace this one and call it a day

p0441
evap system, what have you guys found to be the common problem here? (gas cap is secure) i have done a search and found that pellets get caught up in the purge solenoid, ill check this in the am but what do you guys think about this one?

P1391
I did a search and found that its the camshaft sensor or the crank shaft sensor, everyone says their truck runs like complete crap with this code but mine rides and drives just fine... whatsup?

my brake light has come on, on the dash board. i checked the fluid level, fluid is dirty and could use a purge (ill get around to it) what else could be causing this? brakes feel fine when used. i dont assume the pads have sensors in them to signal when they are low like bmw's and such do they? seems a bit fancy for a 96 ram


well ill post up some pictures soon, i am restoring the truck now. gutted the torn up tan interior replaced the carpet with rhino lining redid the headliner in black and have dyed all the pannels black to match, not to just reupholster the seats and call the interior complete! body is next, it is completely rust free (frame and all) was used as a work truck so is in pretty rough shape as far as dings ect... but planning to work them all out and respray the truck matte black upper half and rhinoline the bottom half.

thanks guys!

banged it back together and welded the seams, ground it back down debating on using a bit of bondo to smooth it out and rhino line with the rest of the bed.

anyways, ill post up some new interior shots tomorrow when i take them

Check the brake line that runs along next to the gas tank for pin holes. They are hard to see and will give you the brake and abs lite.
