I'd pull the fuse for the glow plugs and try it then, how old are the batteries?

The dealer replaced both batts 2 weeks ago. Tow truck from dealer showed up and hauled it to shop.

Shop said the alternator was toast. Had never seen it go like that in a truck so new. WTF would cause that to load batts ... ????

the alternator windings. Think of the diodes as one-way valves, that let electricity OUT of the alternator, into the battery. If shorted, the diodes would allow the battery to short through the alternator. Again, just my guess. Ask the shop, and let us know!
