Thanks for all the input guys,

The battery is now 2 days old and the alternator,starter  and battery cables are brand new. I've done all that you've listed above and still can't track down my drain. I may just take it into a shop and let them fiddle with it.

How is the radio wired in? Disconnect all aftermarket accessories. If the draw 50mA that's still above average on one of these trucks. What's installed electrically?

I found the problem, ground wire on the alternator wasn't making good contact. All is well now, dang I feel dumb
