Take the battery to an automotive store that does free battery checks to see if it holds a charge anymore

Your symptom shows a current draw when the truck is off. The thing you need to do is isolate the circuit that is drawing currrent. You can start by removing the fused link connections from the battery side of the starter solinoid. When the indication goe away you are on the track. Check that circuit where it runs near metal. Quite often the insulation rubs thru and causes a hig resistance short.

Good luck,
