The EPC circuit is not applicable to your truck, since you don't have an electronically controlled transmission. I believe in this case, the code means have a complete sensor failure - perhaps the ECT?

No, the only thing matters is the catch code (8TF) int his case, and even then, that doesn't particularly matter either in a stock application.

No, your truck doesn't have an electronically controlled transmission. The computer doesn't know it's even there.

The code 98 in your case just means the computer is in limp mode because of a bad sensor.
