Default Abs and brake light on at 60mph

About 2 months ago I had a transmission put in my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L V8. Everything was great until 3 or 4 weeks ago my ABS and emergency brake light started coming on at 60mph. I've replaced the abs module and also both speed sensors but the issue remains. She the lights come on it also seems like the truck doesn't want to shift gears.
I've spent so much already and gotten nowhere can someone please help?!?!

Read the codes, and see what the ABS system is annoyed about.

The ABS and emergency brake light being on means there is a fault in the ABS system. Did you disconnect the battery after replacing the parts? This clears the ABS codes and may go back to normal. You didn't mention if it's 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS. Not sure about the newer years but the older ones you need to ground out one of the pins on the obd plug to get the ABS codes.

It's a 2 wheel. How can I get the codes? I mean, how can I scan it myself?

You need a scanner that can read ABS codes..... Most parts stores will do it for free.

when I went to O'Reilly's and AutoZone they both told me that they could only read check engine light codes and not ABS codes

I went to advance auto, and they could read abs and srs codes as well. I think it varies state to state, something about liability laws......
