You may want to get the special 5 point torx drive bits and remove the top of the IP (carefully and cleanly) and have a looksee
I would have to see if I can find that shop in Austin, most shops just get a rebuilt unit from someone else.
I think it is the park lamps not the head lights, to test this there is a way to put the three lever switch into park lights only, IIRC it is the lower left lever. also I believe the switch must also be in service drive.
Test this theory out.
Also do you have LED front turn lights or are they...
Not your exact setup but the solenoid lever is in the same place in reference to the tab.
This is the no fuel position, as you see if you slide the cover forward you are compressing the solenoid spring which is holding the linkage in the no fuel position.
If you slide the cover forward and do...
Yes you are correct on the tab,I was wrong, you start with the front of the cover down on the pump as you slide the cover forward and down as the solenoid will allow you to until it drops in.
If you have it correct if you slide the cover forward you will feel spring tension pushing the cover...
When the alt is not working does the heater blower work?
There is a contactor in the PCB that excites the alt and powers the heater blower motor.
Also check the voltage at the IGN terminal on the reg, it should be the same as battery voltage.
I think your compressor is fine, go ahead and try feeding it 24V to one wire with the other grounded and see if the compressor comes on.
19 ohms sounds about right, IIRC the 12V clutches pulled about 3A, so the 1.3A calculated at 28V sounds about right.
I would look real hard at that breaker...
Sorry after re-reading your post I would think you do have a fried component, it looks like the breaker was too large or defective and did not protect the system :(
I do not mean to sound condescending but you should have changed ALL fluids and filters before ever trying to start your truck.
Driving without doing that could cost you BIG bucks
Use DEX III in the steering and transfer case, DEXIII or VI in the trans.
EDIT, that is the very first thing I do...
If the AC was on then you likely shorted out the compressor clutch wire at least momentarily to ground, hopefully there is a fuse in the compressor circuit otherwise you likely fried one of the components that feeds the clutch, Yes a schematic would be very helpful, sorry can't help there.
