Hi All,

Thought I would post an update on my situation.

I dug through all the wiring throughout the entire truck and i was able to find the source of the problem. There seemed to be some type of short coming from my ignition. I pulled the ignition apart and found that the ignition plug that was attached to the wiring harness was completely melted inside the ignition. The solenoid purple cable along with the alternator cable connections were melted and completely destroyed!

I've installed the new ignition with a new plug, spliced all the wires accordingly and now the truck is turning over and no longer exhibiting a draw.

THANK YOU everyone who passed on some pointers on this issue! Greatly appreciated! I'll post some photos of my project soon.

Cheers!
