Low voltage, no start, new battery

[RamDiver]

Thanks, but I got it fixed. I appreciate you wanting to assist.

You're most welcome.

Could you share what was discovered and the solution?

This could help someone else who has the same fault in the future. Thanks in advance

Ya made him mad so he isn’t gonna share. Took his toys and went home.
Bet the voltage on his battery was 9vdc and he’s too embarrassed to tell.

I have done that before, but I was about 7 years old. I had to fight the neighborhood bully over it, too.
The wires at the TCM fell onto the tail pipe.

Best to all of you guys. Don't let the internet make you sour. Your grand babies like you nice.

Thanks for the update.

Did this condition at the tailpipe prevent the truck from sleeping while it continued to discharge the battery?

I don't know. I don't think I had a parasitic drain, just a short that was telling the BCM not to start. The batteries may never have been the issue as we all assumed. We'll see.
