The connectors are notorious for wires pulling out, and shorting, and the connectors inside expanding, and not making a good connection. Your meter will tell you everything is fine, but, in reality, it ain't. Check/clean the connectors at the PCM, replace the pigtail, see what happens.
do you happens to know which connector it is to the pcm? Have sprayed electric cleaner and greased them to protect them a while back when this first happened. But your right , maybe a wire pulled out or is cut somewhere. It would be nice if I could find i diagram that showed all of it. Also the connectors come apart right ? How do I do that ? Thanks again though I appreciate the help a lot.

Download the factory service manual for your truck from here. Wiring diagrams are in section 8W. You wanna look at transmission controls diagrams. That will tell you which connector, and which cavities on that connector.

welp , replaced the connector to the trans , re wired the pcm connector since there was a wire that seemed bad , still no fix. If I unplug the trans connector the code doesn’t come up. Plugged in a new harness and same code came back. Unplugged 02 sensors replaced upstream, still same code, if I unplug any speed sensor the truck seems to not care, which is odd. Also, the desired pressure for gps is no longer displayed on my scanner , and another thing is no longer displayed. It’s definitely a ground issue . The book shows all grounds and they are fine . Next step is I’m going to Hotwire the damn thing . If that doesn’t fix it , a match and gasoline will. Not like someone would give me what I want for it after dumping all this money into it anyways. Have even searched the harness for shorts with a short or open circuit finder

G100, witch is just in front of the battery, way the heck down there..... has about a dozen wires going to it... and while it may look good, on mine, most of the wires were corroded to the point that they "Tested" good, but, put a load on 'em, and they failed. Not to mention the ones that were just broken......

Nope. In FRONT of the battery, way down there below it, on the rail there. Its a common ground point... LOTS of wires go there.
