Welcome to the forum!

Have you pulled the underhood fusebox top (that holds the fuses) to inspect and clean the harness connections that are underneath the fuse holders?
I have not checked that, will check when i get home from work, another thing i forgot to mention is the erratic gear changing, test driving it i stood on the gas (Was seeing if the CEL would pop on) and it would drop, and up a gear about 3 times before i let off (maybe 5 seconds max?)

Another thing i forgot to mention for i was to irritated working on it, but some more symptoms to help diagnose
___________________________________

• “Hood Open” light occasionally comes on
• “Rear Access Open” Light occasionally comes on
• Doors Lock and Unlock when hitting a bump, or driving
• ABS Light will flash at times, since the new harness has been installed it only comes on when scanner gets plugged in
• Traction control light on
• “Service Stabilitrac” is on the dash

Sounds to me like the BCM or underhood fuse block has gone bad.

Having said that, I would first hook up external power to the truck and then connect your scan tool and run diagnostics. I could be a bad battery after all.

Update:
• Pulled all fuses, cleaned fuse block and connections
• Battery is completely shot, when another source of power was added the idle was smoother, check engine light took longer to come on (still cyl.1 & 6 had cyl 8 pop up for 2 missfires or so and went back to 0 instantly)
• CEL goes completely away at around 1.5 to 2k rpm, missfire data reads 0 on all cylinders when brought to said RPMs (with added power source)

my best guess besides the dead battery is you have a bad ground or short somewhere. I would start looking at the engine grounds for starters
