I haven't been able to get rid of my code 12 since I've owned the
truck... it started right after I had my LoJack and alarm installed, and
it's been there ever since. I think the dealers can "flash" the
computer, but I've never asked them to do it.
Now, about the 45 code: (I can't believe they can't see it on their
diagnostic computer, I think they're blowing smoke!)
The OBD-II DTC table sez it can be any of the following:
Transmission 3/4 overdrive solenoid circuit
Governor mid pressure not in target range (15 - 20 PSI)
Governor low pressure switch fault (pressure above 3 PSI when stopped)
Transmission 3/4 shift malfunction (no RPM drop after shift)
Governor pressure sensor voltage too low
Governor pressure sensor voltage too high
Governor pressure solenoid circuit
Transmission 12 volt supply relay control circuit
Overdrive switch pressed more than 5 minutes (voltage low)
Sounds like a definite transmission problem, and more specifically a
problem with the overdrive circuit. Don't think it's related to your
cold start problem, although it could be.

Best of luck, let us know what you find out!
