I wouldn't take any time trying to figure it out. Take it back to the dealer.

Battery and alternator have been checked by the dealer. no after market electronics installed. If these components check good, dealer can't do much as their weren't any codes thrown

Did ur truck come with satellite radio? Mine did and I had the same problem as u. If u do have satellite radio, have them check out the sirius tuner. The software on mines was bad and that is what was causing the draw.
