I checked for any fault codes and I received a trouble code 76 = Fuel Pump Resistor Bypass Relay Circuit. Is this something I can do myself or do I need a shop?
sounds like a bad ballast resistor

VM 2.5 turbo and derivated are a direct bolt on on the ax15s, but you must find one in Canada.

If it's an AW4 then it is a 4 speed automatic. Heat comes from the exhaust pipe and it is normal.

Honestly, i don't see any connection between a bad alternator and a tranny shifting problem. If the battery is good the tranny should work even if the alternator was disconnected.

Whats the best route to go?
I wouldn't suggest short arms for everything higher than 3 inches. A 6.5 lift with short arms will ride like **** and flex bad.

I checked the fuse too! Maybe the CPS but it would run for a second right and still would have spark from the coil right?! IDK any idea! I miss her! Stuck in the mud for 3 month and now this! DAMN

Is there a trick to releasing this large connector or am I gonna have to cut all those wires and spend days splicing them?! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
The bulkhead connector might be melted together, if you released all the pins and unbolted the screws from the inside it should separate, if it doesn't, you already know...

still having issues with Low idle (500 rpm not stable). Cleaned everything in the TB, checked all vacuum line (but that would make a high idle right ?), cleaned CCV system and replaced front hose of CCV. IAC seem to be working after cleaning. and TPS is adjusted properly according to several manuals.

What is left to check ? EGR valve, O2 sensor, CPS, CTS, MAP....

It's the TPS (throttle position sensor) on the throttle body, you might have damaged the wires or the sensor itself, check the ground, 5volt positive feed and the sensor output 0-5 volt.
