Battery problem?

I own a 2007 F-150 The problem I have been having is the battery has to be jumped every 2-3 weeks. Somes once a day. I have had the truck back to two Ford dealers and they both say they can not find any problems. They said they have tested the electrical system by putting loads on it and looking for any power drains. I also noticed that the needles for my battery gauge, rpm gauge, and speedometer stay in the down position,but just jump. Then after about 30 seconds they move up. I have had the truck in the shop 4 times not, but jumped started it about 12 times now. I checked over and over to be sure something was not on when I got out of the truck. My 3 new Fords before this never came me any trouble at all.

Yes, the dealer installed a Ford brand remote control. Your thinking that may be the problem? Thank you.
