No start, needed towed to dealer. Any suggestion would be helpful.

Dealer called yesterday. Truck repaired. Lengthy statement on his tech. tracing a low voltage drop in the ABS system. A white/green wire traced back from the Canbus to a pin that was loose connection. Tech pushed pin, seated and voltage returned to normal. Batter checked out good. Note: somewhere I read a similar problem with an ABS connection causing dead battery. Started when I left dealer, and Started again when I left the vehicle Rental to home. Watched voltage all way home at 14.5.
So plan B is on hold.

Glad to hear! Hopefully it’s fixed for good.

What dealer do you use? I am looking for a better dealer if I have to have any warranty work completed.
