You could try the re wire from suncoast. It wont cost you anything except a couple of connector and a length of wire to run to the battery and back. Worth a shot. Man I hope you get that fixed, I know it is a PITA hunting down gremlins.

Fun, isn't it!? I'm right there with you on the next truck having a manual. But, for what it's worth, after you get all these electrical issues figured out it's a non-issue.
From time to time, mine will start acting up a bit, especially if I haven't driven it for awhile.
Then I just do a few things like APPS reset with the peddle, check APPS voltage, disconnect PCM plugs (while batteries are unhooked of course), and that usually solves it.
Good luck man.

After that, I took every connector I could find apart, cleaned them, and reassembled with generous amounts of dielectric grease. It's been about 3 years now, and the problem hasn't repeated. I've also heard that a 'noisy' alternator can cause this, no matter how clean you get the connections. The filter (usually a capacitive coupler to ground*) would probably take care of even that, though I think the best solution would be to replace the (very expensive) alternator.
HTH
*Capictors will pass (couple) spikes and noise to ground, while pretty much ignoring the smooth DC.

all i can say is grounding the apps on mine fixed the problem and it was free, didnt even cut the factory wire just trimed back the insulation and soldered another wire to it
