All we know for sure is that you have a mix of bricknose and obs parts, some plugs are not connected and the engine will not crank with the key. Jumping the solenoid produces some effect which you call "dieing down rolls". Translation required, but it sounds like it cranks with the solenoid jumped, but slows down and dies.

So, is your battery fully charged? That would be step #1.

Step #2
Let us know exactly what you are using from each truck and what the engine and transmission combination is.

Step #3
Do you have EVTM's or wiring diagrams for both trucks? If not, get them.

Step #4
Now you can begin to diagnose your problem.
