Most common code with any chip/programmer, it does not mean a thing. All of us ignore it.... As far as shifting weird, a little more info on that and I'm sure we can help...

Could be the VSS sensor on the rear diff, mine did that to me once.. A good way to tell is if the speedo acts funny at the same time. You can pull it out(one 10mm bolt on the top of the diff, ) clean it off and re install and see if that helps. Also, I see you have the Predator, see if you can get any codes from it. Or... plug in the predator and go to the diagnostics and drive around and watch the tranny settings, it will tell you tranny temp, among many other things that might be helpful. Of course, check the fluid first, that may solve the problem as well.. As far as not finding a gear, could be torque converter slipping but usually will give a code. Let us know, were here to help
