Whoa! Before you start tearing out modules, why dont you have it scanned to see what's goin on first? It may not have anything to do with the electronics. Also what has been done to the truck in the past? This could be a simple problem like a branch tube fitting or sensor. I would see what codes it has, then move in that direction. Good luck!

Have it checked for codes. Most likely you have a high pressure oil leak. D-rings on oil rail plugs and stc fitting are most common. Swapping modules with the X won't do any good, as the pcm's have completely different strategies, as the 03 will have the "inferred ebp programming". Your X probably has PATS that will not allow engine to crank, if it is so equipped.
