…..See you on the boards.

 

I would check the ground cable connection on the frame that goes to the battery. Make sure its nice and tight. Also would check the altenator for proper operation. I have had them "stick closed" before causing a drain on the battery while the car was not running. And last, I don't know if the gators have the GEM module problem but that might be another thing to look into.

 

If it was raining or had recently rained, or you had recently washed the truck, I'd suspect your windshield leaked and shorted out the GEM module.
