1) download a free copy of the service manual that is linked in my signature below and go through it to see if there is something that will help. I would ask you need a StarScan tool but I might be wrong.

2) take the truck to a shop that specializes in transmission work and let them do a full and free diagnostics. Most trans shops will do this at no charge.

Overview, almost every P0700 code I have seen needed a full rebuild or replacement. Hope you got that truck really cheap.

Aw great news. I thought for a moment, this was going to turn out to be a "throw parts n' money at it" thread until the issue was fixed.
Good skills
