About a week ago I all of a sudden I had no power to anything even when I connect my battery it acts as if its not even trying to pull any power ive check all my fuses inside and out and pulled ecu and they where all fine any ideas of what it could be
 
Hmmmm. Battery terminals secure and clean? My loose battery terminals caused me all kinds of headaches.
 
Battery terminals are fine ill check the grounds today m make sure their all secure

Reran ground wires and I have power now but now when I go to start it just clicks and the positive terminal heats up to the point of smoking

It sounds like your positive is grounded out somewhere. Turn the ignition on and use a multimeter to check the voltage between your positive battery terminal and your chassis ground. If it is 0V then you have problems and you will have to find where it is grounded. If it is close to 12V then it is good. Let us know what you get.

I would check your starter positive wire and the harness going to your alternator.
