Default 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi problems

I recently bought a 2006 dodge ram 5.7 hemi for pretty cheap because Ithe had some problems. The truck stalls when you take your foot off the gas and it runs very rich. So I took apart off the throttle body, cleaned it and ran some seafoam though including in the gas tank and crankcase. The truck ran alot better, I was driving the other day going up a hill and I lost all power and it starting doing the same thing, so I read some forms and changed my EGR and my rear speed sensor on top of the diff and still having issues. The top has the abs, parking light and engine light on plus the rpm gage does not work unless you floor it. I scanned the codes but it won't let me clear them until I fix the abs error, any ideas?

There's a video on YouTube to fix the tachometer. You have to solder a connection that loosens up. It only takes about an hour to get it done. I did it and it has held up for over 2 years.
