Your getting excellent advise.
If you have a remote starter switch (don't cost much at your LAPS), you can connect it directly to your starter and bat and engage it while on your truck. This may help you isolate the issue.
I may have missed something, but sounds like there's a big drain on your battery. (short somewhere??)
