Phantom current drain?

Would anyone know off hand what the usual parasitic current drain is for a truck like mine in the sig? I just checked mine and it's 1.5. I haven't started pulling fuses yet.

Happy new year everyone!

Update: I went back and checked it after about an hour. It's now 0.55 mA. Evidently something needs to time out before it goes to sleep?

I have a slight draw on my trailer package for some reason? I can't remember how much, something like you had. I don't drive mine much at all in the winter so I got a battery maintainer. Sometimes if you have remote keyless entry it will draw some. Looks like you have done a lot of work to your truck according to your signature. I just looked at this and they have doubled in price!!
