I definitely have an electrical issue. Last night I checked my battery with a voltmeter and it told me I was at +10 volts, when I checked again this morning it was showing a bit under 8 volts. I just checked a few minutes ago and I'm still at a high 7 volts

That's gonna be a problem..... You got a pretty significant draw there somewhere, and a dead battery will neither start, nor run, the truck...

According to my scanner, the voltage of my O2 sensor bank 2 sensor 1 is 1.270 volts no fluctuation.

It's my understanding that O2 voltage should fluctuate between zero, and 1 volt on the signal return.... If it's fixed at 1.2 and change..... Does the engine actually stay running with that sensor unplugged? Does the readings on the scanner change?

Nope, my truck doesn't stay running with it unplugged it runs for about 3 minutes and dies. It won't start back immediately, I have to wait for a bit.​​​​​
