FWIW, all, a quick and dirty check for bad diodes in your alternator. With the engine off and cooled down completely (like overnight) open the hood and check the alternator temperature with your hand, if it is hot or noticeably warmer than everything else, the diodes are bad.
I found I had already told you this one a while back. I do have the 1996 EVTM as my truck now has 1996 wiring harnesses in it. If you pull all the fuses in the underhood box, it will kill all power to inside the truck including the underhood light as it feeds from the courtesy lamp circuit. There is even a radio memory fuse in there.
