older post about swapping
a long read...you might find the info you are looking for there.
Are the wires you are looking to connect on the v8 harness or the truck harness?

I found out from reading a few it’s connector c153. which is for the front axel and 4wd. I ended up using my v6 harness as to know where it goes because it Already had that connector. All the wires go to green connector except the brown one. pin 16 is grey/black. pin19 is black/white which has two same color that run to ecu and to c2 connector to B3 which is Axle Switch Signal. Brown wire runs to C100 conector under fuse to ignition 3 voltage. Not sure it that helps anyone but I couldn’t really find anything on the connector

im still unsure of blue single wire which runs I think to the back of truck maybe taillights or something?

That single blue wire doesn't actually have anything connected to it. It's supposed to be to prime the fuel pump (I can't recall if you ground it or apply 12V+?). I've never actually tried it. But my GMT800 trucks have that and the connector just hangs there.
