Rather than to clutter the list with individual replies, I'll just do it

here.

First, thanks again to everyone for all the ideas.

I drove a good 30 miles today in and out of traffic with NO problems. I

got over to AutoZone for a battery test and, by some miracle, the thing
is still very healthy. However, we discovered....the NEG terminal was
quite loose. I picked up a new one to just outright replace it - heavy
steel with a quick disconnect. I'll check all my fuses this afternoon
as well, as a precaution. I'll give it a few days to see if things stay

clean before I run out and start spending my money again :)

Sorry if I sounded panicked, the truck's been solid since the warranty
ended 14K/10 months ago (knock on wood) and I really did not relish the
idea of dropping a ton of $$$ at the dealer after I just moved last
weekend.
