The P0868 is a transmission low line pressure DTC,The P0871 DTC is a Overdrive pressure sense curcuit issue. The first thing I would recommend checking is the sump filter Gasket. If the sump filter gasket/seal is installed wrong or cut while installing the filter it can cause both of these...

Did you check the nuts that attach the EGR cooler to the manifold? I know that the Dealer said they checked them But the noise you are explaining sound like the nuts are loose. The noise that is heard when there is a leak at the EGR cooler sounds like a squeeling/ high pitched whistle noise...

Nice "Come back"!!! Mike
