Sorry to hear about all the issues & codes.
A blinking engine light is definitely misfiring !
Mopar coils packs are best, i used standard brand with success.

Next I hope the spark plugs you used are NGK ZFR6F-11G ensure plug gap is set correctly.

To do a real code clear, remove positive and negative cables and tape or clamp them together away from battery for 40 minutes, see if that makes a difference.

As far as transmission codes, any transmission shop should be abe to read anything pending or stored.

You can also check the behavior of each coil. With the scanner in rpm mode, turn the ignition on and disconnect coil connector of each cylinder and see if the rpm are the same or if they decreases. The coil with the same rpm point at a bad coil or spark plug or injector.
To get a best reading put the rpm in graphic mode.
I had this problem with the coil of first cylinder and it was a false contact in the connector.

I'm sorry to hear about your issues.. I have the same uphill power loss but no check engine light. I also get it when the car reaches 40mph it just loses power until I let the pedal go, downshift and then it revs and accelerates as normal. Annoying, no idea what it could be either. If you get any clues, please let me know!

This thread is several months old but I just wanted to share that those were the exact symptoms mine had when one of the cats was clogged. Hope OP got his resolved.
