If this thing burns up today I'd be happy

Did you test the battery with a load? There are cases where the battery shows proper voltage but putting a load on it will cause it to drop.

I had a 2006 civic that would start acting weird when the battery was getting bad. Multimeter and testing it showed it was fine. Then within a week or so it would be completely dead. From that point on I knew just to change the battery when the "weirdness" started happening. Would always be right at the 2 year mark. If I put a trickle charger on it I'd get another year. I have a charger that repairs the cells.

If it makes you feel any better, mine is at the dealership for transmission issues which was already replaced 23k miles ago and radio/acm issues. If the extended warranty doesn’t pull through, this pos is being dumped on a Chevy lot, which is a shame because I really do like the truck but this is my second ford and I’m not putting up this twice in a row. At least this one made it to 100k, barely.
