Unclear. They gave me a mumble non-comital about that because they already replaced it. Crazy that they did not look at the brake pedal. The truck seems to be running(and towing) fine now.
UPDATE 4: Finally at 61 days we have a resolution!!! Ford says the cable bracket installed to allow the Demco air brake system was installed too tightly, thus keeping pressure on the brake pedal and draining the battery. Ford says the car is ready to be picked up. We found a transport company...

The next morning the battery...
