I’m willing to bet this is all coming from one source. One issue is screwing with all of it. Now we determine what all of these have in common. Replaced battery, you said you checked the major grounds. As long as you have checked the kickpanel grounds, which are responsible for a lot of ignition and instrument cluster grounds, then I still believe it is the ignition switch. A worn out ignition switch could have worn out to the point that the they barely make contact. Making a lot more problems come from one.
how many miles does your Ignition switch have on it?

2100.....most parts stores won't take back electrical items. If the switch shows marks, you'll own it.
Was it raining when your truck stopped? Been wet. I realize there are 3 BCM codes, so that makes me wonder if the GEM has gotten wet. Just spitballing, but you do have B codes.
If I'm reading this right, it does crank but doesn't start. Is that correct?

Mostly correct, it cranks over and every once in a blue moon will start and then stall and die 1-2 seconds after.... but 95% of time just cranks.

So that kind of screwed things up. Usually they are a little more generic than that.
Regardless and if you have the means, check pressure. Can you confirm that the pump is at least energizing ? Can you hear it for a few seconds KOEO ?

FWIW from the manual:
P0232: voltage at the FPM when the fuel pump is commanded to be off.
B1318: Although it's named about the battery all the pin point tests from the manual, section 414-02, Generator and Regulator. The tests are all regulator parameter measurements of voltage and resistance of the regulator along with some fused jumper tests.

You might want to consider hooking your chime back up. There is some information on where to start looking for the fault based on if the chime is working normally with the code and if the chime isn't working properly with the code. Although the code is listed as the drivers door chime it is also the same circuit for the headlights being left on with no key in the ignition.
B1428 is in both 1999 Vol 2 of the service manuals and the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis Service Manual as a seat belt light circuit failure.
