I had a suncoast stage 4 kit put in a little over a year ago. In the last few days I limped it twice. I was passing both times. The first time I was pulling an empty trailer and the second it was just the truck. (different days) I don't think it shifted out of 5th either time.
I just checked the codes today and have p0700, p0735 and p0840.
Where should I start looking for the problem?

Thanks

Speed sensor in the transfer case would be a start.

What are some of the other specs of the truck? Who built the trans?

Which specs are you looking for? Pretty much everything on the engine is still stock. I have dual fm100 lift pumps, 5" exhaust, 285 tires on H2 rims.
I think my turbo may be going out as I have been getting a lot of black smoke and currently have the wastegate disconnected (was topping out at 28 before with ppe boost valve) and can't get much over 35psi (sometimes not even that)
Durallymax (Vinny) built the trans for me and tuned the truck with EFI Live.

Will check on the speed sensor, thanks for the advise.
