Both vehicles have the zf 5 manual 5 spd OD, so I'm assuming it'll work. That is good news, I'll try it out this afternoon.

Wow, what a difference! Swapped out the ecu's and got the following results:
  1. Starts right up, either hot or cold
  2. No more smoke
  3. Idles nicely
  4. More power
  5. No more stalling on acceleration
  6. No more CEL
However, still having a problem on acceleration. Step on the gas, and the truck vibrates with the engine doing a "fast stutter". Power during acceleration is decent, but is lacking. Fuel pressure shows 32 at idle and 40 at WOT. No vacuum leaks. Haven't checked timing yet, but any thoughts on what might be the issue now? As a part of my troubleshooting, the MAP sensor and TPS are new, so hopefully they aren't the problem. Thanks for the advice - way ahead of where I was just two days ago!

You need to pull the SPOUT plug & set timing to 10*, plug it back in, & drive 10-15 miles multi-condition & cruise.
