4.8 electrical gremlins? Or alternator ?

Hey guys I waited a week before posting hoping things would dry.

A week ago I had the valley pan , cooling pipe , hoses and thermostat replaced ,

I did have a lot of gunk under the intake manifold like an idiot took it to the Carwash and used high pressure hose too clean the valley pan.

Fast forward 10 minutes later and trans malfunction cluster turning on and off etc

After driving it for 20 mins it went back to normal after driving back home from the Carwash the upper radiator hose came loose and I got a low coolant light . Took an Uber to autozone and bought more coolant refilled the car and as soon I turn on the car electronic malfunction came on trans malfunction and everything else brake light etc

Hazards would not work in cluster but would illuminate outside .

Fast forward to now everything cleared up but now under heavy acceleration I'm getting all the lights again and limp mode and No communication from transmission here are my rheingold codes ..

Did the alternator go to shit? While the hose right ontop came loose prior to me ubering to autozone ? Im stumped I looked at the connections near the trans everything is dry . Same for the engine bay

I can clear the codes and they will come back after heavy acceleration

Tested the battery it's fine removed negative cable under trunk and alternator is charging fine .
