try to look there for the wiring diagram, you'll be able to compare both ecu pinout I think..
You may be a noob here but I don't think you are nood in the mechanic in general ?? You seem to know what you are doing
and for the hitting valve on the 3500 what is your headgasket thickness ? And what is the pushrod lenght ? is the cam too agressive for the valve spring/pushrod combo you got ?

I'm pretty sure the shop that installed the valve springs did something
wrong because it ran fine for the cam/springs break-in and drove smooth
for about 15 miles. Then it stopped (no apparent noise.) It just died. When trying to restart, it sounded like the timing chain broke (no compression.) However some of the cylinders did have compression.
Should be obvious when the heads are off.
Haven't gotten the heads pulled yet to find out the exact damage,
but I had a shop say it kind of looks like a valve guide seized. Only #2
is completely impacted. The remaining exhaust valves are only slightly
impacted.
Hopefully in November I can afford the parts to get a valve job done.
Check for clearance/troubleshoot the failure. Hopefully get it running
again this winter and put it back in in the spring.
Pushrods: 5.790" and 6.115
Fel-pro head gasket
Cam is pretty mild. .534 gross lift
Comp Cams 26986 springs.
