Hit a curb, no slow acceleration

I hit a curb on the passenger front tire sideways going about 30-35 mph this morning trying to avoid a head on collision with a moron flying around a sharp corner on the wrong side on the road. Aside from a damaged rim and flat tire now my 4x4 06’Dakota won’t accelerate properly. (Like it’s stuck in a higher gear? Anyone have any ideas what that could be?

Any check engine codes?

Also, thinking a rim isn't the only thing that got damaged. Check everything.

Check the alignment and also check that the wheel spins freely. If it was a really hard hit check the trans and engine mounts

P0700, p0750 are now there for codes definately weren't there before I had the computer reprogrammed 3 months ago. Truck was running like new.
I have so much into this truck really hope it isn't too serious!

A bent tie rod will be like dragging a wheel sideways.

Codes are for a shift solenoid that controls the 1st-2nd shift. Clear it, Disconnect the battery and let it sit over night if it comes back your gonna need to get the trans fixed
