Also Check your battery's health and make sure water is in it,if it is drawing alot of amperage due to a weak/poor battery can cause truck to operate hotter than normanl

Sorry for the delay,
code -41 Open Thermal Protector or Control Over Temperature
Symptom: Reduced or no power to traction motor in control range

Possible Cause: Open Thermal Protector Circuit

Check for loose or corroded connection or broken wire between Violet wire at thermal protector and PZ2. Same check between White/Violet wire at thermal protector and PZ5.
Disconnect wires from PZ2 and PZ5. Measure at room temperature the resistance between Violet and White/Violet wires. Replace thermister if ohmic value is greater than 1300 ohms. Code should disappear if unit is allowed to cool down, check for brake drag.

Code 48 often results from a faulty contactor assy, welded tips or most often sluggish or stuck contactor armature. If this is not helpful i can send the full code 48 troubleshooting guide.
