Default truck electric leak

Any suggestions on how to find what's draining my battery?



How much is it drawing? Put an ammeter in the GROUND lead; set it to 10
amps, and go downscale from there. If it's an amp or more, put a 1034 or
similar taillamp in series. Then you can disconnect things and observe
success.

Others have suggested the alternator, which I second. Pull both the
output wire and the field connections.

Also, do you have one or 2 fuseboxes on your truck?
