  1. Well, I had a chance to have a quick look tonight and my battery is toast! I left it disconnected and charged it slowly a couple of times to try to revive it, but after sitting fora couple days it was down to 10-11 volts. I didn't wait very long when checking the draw, so it might drop out. I'll check when I get some more time. I just hope that it was the battery all along as I don't want to kill a new battery if there is a phantom load on it.
  2. Thanks for the replies. I've been too busy to have another look it lately, but will check again soon. Where can I find out about the TSB's?
  3. So seeing I never got any responses from the other post I hijacked ( http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=140871 ) I figured I would start my own. So here is my issue. Let me know what you think! tks! My truck is a 2004 GMC 2500 WT w/6.0L. I checked for draw through negative battery cable and got a similar reading of 1.26 amps average. I pulled every fuse and relay (and let me tell you that it takes a while when you do it by yourself and have to check each one individually!!!) and narrowed my readings to the following (listed as apparent current draw after fuse removed and left out): Starting current draw - 1.26 amps remove radio fuse - 0.58 amps (radio appears to draw 0.68 amps) remove IPC/DIC fuse - 0.13 amps (0.45 amp draw) remove TBC Batt fuse - 0.07 amps (0.06 amp draw) remove Stud #2 fuse (large 30amp) - 0.04 amps (0.03 amp draw) At this point there was still a 0.04 amp draw that I could not pinpoint with any fuse or relay in either fuseblock. So, what does this tell me? I scanned for DTC's (before disconnecting battery with help from booster pack) and only got a low voltage code which was expected. Are any or all of these abnormal? I'm thinking some maybe ok, but the radio and cluster seem a bit high to me??
