stumble and check engine light

a month ago I had the dealer put in my SB clutch and program the high idle feature
imediately after picking up the vehicle I noticed a stumble at about 50 to 60 mph at a very slight acceleration
The high idle did not work either
Then I found out that the tech re flashed my computer when all he had to do was turn the feature on
Now I get codes 0500 and 0253
(0500 - no vehicle speed signal)
(0253 - fuel pump fuel valve open signal)
since then I have removed the DD ufm and am running stock except for the exhaust, scotty II, and clutch
Stumble is still there just not as noticeable
Haven't seen another check engine light since taking off the ufm
This pickup ran beautiful for 6 months with all this stuff on it and now runs like crap
I dont believe its the clutch because of the check lights
I have been pushing the dealer for a new computer but they claim dodge wont even sell them one without running a bunch of tests
I called cummins yesterday and basically waisted my time

Is it possible that the tech caused this problem or is something else wrong and its just coincedence that it showed up the same time I had the work done ???
