It may be worth a try to retest the battery under load, and if it's good, to re-register the battery after charging it to 100%, followed by clearing out all the codes.

I hear you but in my case I already know if the wire harness, just not what end yet.
Will be working on this later on today.
UPDATE:
I took the truck to my guys at a local shop I sometimes use.
They suggested I look at and if needed replace Throttle Body wire harness.
- I cut the wire harness protective housing in half to see if any of the conductors were rubbed through, all look great
- next I traced all six wires all the way back the the computer (located in engine bay passanger compartment under the cabin filters), all tested good and did not appear to be shorted to each other
- I stripped the dash (glovebox, display center and right vent grills) and looked at all wires in there to make sure nothing was rubbing on the metal frame of the dash (this was suggested in some writ up I sound but I believe has no connection to this issue)
My mechanic deleted all the codes when I dropped the car off and it has worked good since they did that. Obviously this appears to be a problem that develops over time.
Next on to more troubleshooting. (updates coming)
