You were right! The alternator was on its way out! Problems persisted. Narrowed it down to a bad positive battery terminal and then foubd that the truck would immediately die when I disconnected the battery.

doing the cs144 mod this week.

Since starting this thread, I just completed the Big Three+ Rewire.

The battery to frame was added because I'm running 2ga to an Anderson Plug I located at the rear trailer hitch area. The plug is grounded to the frame. The plug will have two uses: a) charge my trailer's batteries (a BlueSea ACR was installed at the truck's battery to disconnect when the truck isn't running; prevents the trailer from draining the truck's battery) and b) should I decide to use my winch, which will be mounted on a tray that fits into the trailer hitch, it will have all the juice it needs.

My alternator increased output at idle from 13.98v to 14.25v. Very happy. Will report on the window power draw a little later. I have not changed the alternator's brushes. But, I would guess based on the alternator's output, the brushes should be fine.

Appreciate any other insights.
What if the power window relays are wearing out?
