Well, the battery was at 12.2 volts from my scangauge2, then I cranked it and it went to 13.6 for the bulk of the trip. It also dropped down to 11.something right before I cranked.

I was thinking it was the battery because it happened the first morning after installing my new ultragauge em and read about the battery drain issue. This is the inciting moment. Changing the scangauge to ultragauge is the only variable that I can think of.

So what should I look for for high idle issues?

Would a motorcycle tricklecharger work on my truck's battery?
Can I use some coke to clean the connectors?
