Battery dead after valve cover gaskets
Hi guys new to the forum. Have an 06 4.4 from an old member on here. I just finished changing the valve cover gaskets yesterday. Truck starts up fine, ran it around the block and then I put the scanner on it to check for any codes. 2 random codes (cant remember) were on but no CEL. Cleared them and called it a day. Today I go to start it up, completely dead; just clicking & headlights flashing like they were trying to fire (weird..). So I put it on the charger, get it started and take it for another drive. Scanner again: no CEL but 2 new codes. P1056 and P1059 which are VVT supply voltage control motor high input. Cleared those and trickled charged the battery to make sure it was full. 4-5 hours later I go to start it, completely dead again. Once again, charge it and drive it around. Scanned for codes; none this time. Wait 2 hours, go to start it and yet again it is completely dead.
What could possibly be drawing that much power in 2 hours?! Headlights off, all interior lights off. I cant think of anything else. Could it anyway be related to changing the gaskets? I never had this problem before.
