The only thing I have left to try is unplugging the stereo amp and not running the stereo and seeing what happens. The only thing that is on when the truck is off is the clock and the light around the ignition key hole. The alternator was replaced last year with OEM and LR and my mechanic both said it was ok and there are no large power draws. I tested it a month ago and that time they had to recharge it to test it and it was ok. They had to completely recharge it just to test it and it tested good. drive from work (didn't turn anything on during the drive). It's a duralast gold so I took it to Autozone after a 30 min. After work was over the car wouldn't start again just not having quite enough juice in the battery to start. It did start ok this morning but I had charged again 8 hours earlier before I went to sleep. I threw a jump starter on it and it started up without hesitation. I try to start the car the next afternoon and the battery has enough power to strongly release the door locks and the dash lights looked bright, but it just didn't have enough power to start the car. Charged the battery and left it alone the rest of the day. I finally got around to changing the lock cylinder on Wednesday and thought that was it.

I stopped charging it before I went to bed because it would lose it by the next morning. It got worse to the point where it would lose just enough charge during work that I'd have to jump it and I was having to constantly re-charge it with a charger I bought. I needed a new ignition cylinder because my old one was broken and wouldn't turn off all the way causing the battery to drain if my D1 wasn't used for a few days. I thought I had my electrical problem figured out.
