I ran the voltage drop test, and I have a 0.23 volt drop on the negative battery cable to the engine block and a 0.01 voltage drop on the positive battery cable to the main fuse block. As such, the negative battery cable is above the maximum threshold of 0.20 volts, so I will replace all battery cables at the same time.
I took the truck out for a 15 mile drive and a 10 mile drive on local streets, respectively, and I had no DIC warnings. After both runs, I checked for trouble codes, and there were none.
So............. I 'think' that I am in the clear, but it will take a lot more miles of trouble code free driving, before I can fully trust the truck again.
After the replacement battery cables are in place, and I have no new trouble codes, then I will label this issue and thread as SOLVED. At this point, I believe that the source of my issue was either a bad ground #300, or the chafed wire on the transmission wire cluster.
