Follow-up. ended up taking the truck to an electronics shop, because I needed to take a long road trip in it. They found the short in the harness at the alternator, which required the alternator and PS pump to again be pulled all over again. $300 in labor later and it was all sorted. Maybe or...

Can't find the issue. Going to have to have a mobile mechanic come out early next week. fml

I got the replacement 9V battery for my multimeter. Can anybody tell me what, other than the battery itself, I can or should test to try and narrow down the issue?

replaced the alternator, now i gotta figure out why my dash gauge fuse keeps blowing out

will definitely do. I'm traveling to NYC all next week for work, so I'll order it and have it waiting for me when I get back
