Default 2004 Dakota 5 speed will not go over 2000 rpms

My wife took the truck out. Got gas at the station I tell her not to go to. Within a quarter mile, the engine throws a code. The truck bucks and snorts. It will now not go over 2000 rpms. I heard converter issue but should I be worried it is bad gas? If so fixes in a covid world?

See if you can pull some gas from the fuel rail. Leave it sit for half an hour, and see what separates out..... that'll tell ya if it's bad gas.
