1999 f150 only drives in 2nd gear after hitting mud puddle

1999 f150 5.4 it's been over 3 months since It happened I hit a pretty big mud hole and right after it starts bogging and running rough and won't drive I made it home and second and I've been driving it around town in second gear since. I've been trying different things since it happened, It runs rough in drive, reverse, neutral, and first (towing gear) but revs up just fine in second (towing gear)
So far I've
Checked all fuses
Changed plugs checks coil packs
Dropped pan changed tranny fluid and filter
I broke a heater core line so I replaced the intake manifold and got a good look at everything and cleaned it out
Cleaned throttle body
Checked all connections
Checked all vaccuum hoses
Replaced maf sensor
Pulled the codes but I don't have them handy any input or suggestions would be great I'm sure I forgot a few things

Get the codes and post them. We're not psychic.

Did you verify (actually confirm, not just stare at it) that fuse F24 in the under hood fusebox was passing switched power to the transmission? Your symptoms are that that fuse is blown or is otherwise not supplying power to the transmission's solenoids.

All I know is how to pull it check if it's blown and then test it I have no idea how you check if it's passing switched power to the transmission I looked in to it and couldn't figure it out, would you mind educating me?

Use a meter or test lamp and check for power at each of the two test points on the fuse.

Google can be your friend.... Use it as needed.

Your codes, in my opinion suggest wiring harness or plug damage under the truck 'and' may have resulted in blown fuse..
You hit a hole and got damage from it.
It's just common sense.
That's what the codes are for, to tell what has happened.
Nearly all the control functions for the trans are missing.
Does that surprise you given how it acts?
Good luck.
