After two mechanics, one Nissan trained, could not pinpoint the problem, I educated myself with the electrical diagram. I fixed it, 99c fuse..for three weeks. Back to the drawing board. Either something in wiring or new computer draws too many amps. 
60300 mi I finally got the truck running early May after reading the 800 pages of the service manual and still do not know what is wrong. Ran it daily and locally for two months. A few days ago I started it and it blew the fuse #53. 2 comps & 3 IPDMs 
65121 mi Truck went into Limp Mode once again. Spliced melted wiring over the rear of the muffler. Did not clear the problem. Also now stuck in flashing Low-4. Tried resetting ECM and got it into neutral once, but it would not finish the reset procedure and went back to 4-Low flashing. Still in forward only. Still in garage as of April 19th. Spent more time in a garage than on the road....
