You're steering wheel being off will cause your ABS lights to go off being that it will think you are in a slide. Adjusting your drag link should take all of 5 minutes to do. Either way, that will NOT cause your problem. That said, it sounds like you are in limp mode. Did you make sure to set both gear ratio AND tire size? Just asking to make sure. If so, it sounds like you have a bad speed sensor or a bent tone ring.

This. Happened to me before. Only a problem on an auto. Usually a rear sensor.

got the steering wheel centered the jscan will not clear the codes so i unhooked the batter an ziptied the ends together will see if that clears they in the morning 1 code for steering angle and 2 codes for both rear abs but the instructions only show adjustment for the front with the rear just being put in with the 1 small allen head
and i triple checked the jscan is showing the 5.13 gears and the 36" tires

It’s not spacing on the rear. It’s a bad sensor.

Doubtful but they are sensitive when moved I have found. I’ve had similar issues. Remove to change something then it goes wonky. They are cheap, I would swap them out.
