Default truck electric leak

Theory that is.

In these days dropping below a certain level kills the CPU card.

I've seen small batteries that can 'fill' a flat one in seconds -
floating it long enough for the engine to have a brain - then it generates.

I couldn't leave my 80's New Yorker when it first came out - The battery
would not last 2 days. I could not fly out of town and leave it.

The clock and internal computer and the 12V CMOS processor - the regulator
for the processor blocked all until above a level.

I've had to leave the battery disconnected cause the juice gets sucked down.
So, today I put the ohm meter between the + post and ground. Got 180 ohm.
Pulled one fuse at a time hoping to find a faulty circuit. No joy, same
reading the whole time.

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

That would take 43 days to drain a decent battery using my conservative numbers.
