Still looking for YA or NAY before I go spend $$ on another ECU! Please help people LOL!!!

Still looking to know if ECUs are interchangeable (as per my OP)...anyone?!

I haven't checked for error codes...not a bad idea tho.

Hello, I have a 1990 T4R with auto, v6, 4x4. I recently had to replace the ECU. I found one at a salvage yard in a 1992 or 1993 with the same options as my truck. I put it in my truck and it seems to run fine but when I turn the ignition on I notice the check engine light flashes rapidly...
