Well.... I ordered an ECU from Justin at up-speed in NC. I sure as hell hope its here by Friday so I can drive this thing this weekend. That's how close this bitch is.. if the ECU was really the culprit.
I opened up my old ECU and there was 4 resistors that have gotten VERY hot. Black PCB, discolored ceramic and boiled solder. I also see that the big capacitor was leaking and damaged some of the nearby PCB. Too bad. I think I'm going to look into a full standalone soon
. It'll save me money in the long run.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
So you're thinking about going with the Tec3 setup, right? I wonder since I'm still in the planning stages I should think about going with the standalong system to start out with, and not even mess with the stock harness and ecu. From what I've heard, the electromotive stuff is super simple to hook up, and works awesome.
Not that I'm afraid of messing with a stock harness, but it might be a better idea to do it that way, then I could just buy the 4G63 motor instead of having to basically buy a whole car and gut it. Believe me, I've been looking, and it's hard to find a deal like you did...

Well, now I've got the truck, should I do the swap?

How about a link, motherfucker?
You could just use the stock harness and change wire it up to a standalone computer.. a few changes would be needed, but you'd have all the wires and plugs.
