I would pull the PCM Computer and open it up. Sounds like you may have lost the 5volt power supply (bad caps).

What, pull the computer out?

If so remove the screws from the drivers inter fender, pry it open with a broom stick.
Then back out the bolt in the center of the computer plug with a 10mm 1/4" drive socket and remove the plug. After that remove the two screws above and below the computer plug and pull the computer out through the gap between the inter and outer fender.

I also like to block up the truck and take the front drivers wheel off.

Once the computer is out remove the screws from its case and look for deformed caps, traces ate through by acid or burnt items on the board. Also see if it smells burnt.
