1761 seems to be ; DEF tank level sensor circuit sensor failed (high). Did you disconnect the sensor? and forget to put it back?

I do not think it would prevent truck from starting? You might want to change DEF filter while your working on it ....if you ran tank dry? everything in there went into filter.

The reason I did not address other codes as they are somewhat irrelevant, often with these engines they will give you info but you need to fix one or two and they allow the rest to be cleared.

I didn’t disconnect the sensor but, the I did run the tank dry.. The guy from my local shop told me the same about how it should not prevent it from starting. I will take to the shop on Wednesday after the holidays.Wherever it turns out to be I will definitely replace the DEF filter. Thank you for your response.
