--You have a short circuit or something is still on-draining the battery overnite-Hook-up an ammeter in series on one of the battery cables and start removing fuses the one that drops the current draw is the trouble circuit-

Thanks man I will try it out 2moro, I have been trying 2 figure anything out bc I have tried all the basic things like battery & alternator so I will try this. I have 2 figure it out myself bc the local electric guy wants $80 an hour 2 try & find it but I work a crappy $8 an hour job & can't justify having 2 work 10 hours 2 pay some guy 2 look around my truck for an hour. If u have any other suggestions of what it could b besides a fuse let me know plz & thx
