Well you learned something. Any time you are faced with a interconnected system and you don't know where the problem is, start diagnostics at one end and work forward.
Blue smoke means burning oil, start with the easy fixes, see if the turbocharger has oil seepage on either side. Take the truck on a hard run and see if it clears up after you check the turbocharger. Make sure you don't have oil dilution. On the Allison, check the modulator cable and the...
Ouch. What happened is, when you disconnected the batteries with the switch, the alternator no longer had reference voltage and it ran away. Likely the protective control box has burned up components inside. There is a thread here about repairing it.
My 2 cents, if you are planning expeditions to the middle of nowhere, it's time you learned to DIY. Super easy to do, just need a Milwaukee Fuel impact or old school pneumatic and a tire hammer.

Nothing on display as I said can be many many problems. Get it home as Suprman advised and then you can start...
Oh, you are providing confusing information. By saying "no codes" that tells us you know how to pull the codes and the display is working. But now you say "nothing on display". That could be any one of 100 things wrong to cause that.
As far as hauling your truck, you want Joey at United...
You are THE BEST! See if you can upload it to the TM section of this site. I will buy a copy if you burn it on a CD or memory stick. Try to get the other -20 as well.
