Default U1120 code

2005 QC 4.7L V8 4x4 545RFE

So today the truck was going down the road normal and all when I looked down and my CEL ABS BRAKE and AIRBAG lights were on and my spedometer was not reading anything. When I got to a red light I shut the engine off, removed keys, restarted and all the lights went away except CEL and the speedo worked fine (GPS speed confirmed). I took it to O'reilly Auto and the guy there scanned the codes and got back "u1120 lost wheel distance" and nothing else. He worked for the local Dodge dealership and said the code was generic so I would have to have a dealer read scan it again for a specific sensor and the speedo not working was a result of the code going off not a cause. He suggested that it might be a bad spark plug coil which kinda makes sense since the engine didn't want to start this morning and has been running poor (bad mileage and power loss) for a while. I won't have a chance to have the dealer read the codes until Wednesday so I figured I would start here. Any ideas? Battery is fine if that matters.

Disconnect the battery for an hour or so.

Ya it did it again today. I turned the key back a little and then back to run and it sorted it self out. Guess I just have too much **** on my key-ring. And the engine running crappy? That would be the manifold leaking very quietly so I can't hear it over the obnoxious ticking valve.
