It was fine on the way home. Wife picked it up so I wasn't able to question him
as to which wires in which box. Everything works now, for now.
Power management center under the hood. Fuses and relays are under the cover and under that are some big wiring harness connectors - most likely what was loose.

Loose wires? I'm impressed that your dealer found them. Finding loose wires takes way more real diagnosis skills than the typical 'read a code, change a part' model most follow.

Glad they got it fixed for you.

I've cranked and driven the truck on 3 separate occasions today and it's working fine. It appears that the dealer fixed the problem. Hooray!

Well guess what Professor Rob, he didn't say it wouldn't start either. If the truck did not start and all that other stuff he mentioned not work either, do you really think the guy is to dumb to put those 2 together, or did you just really need to suggest, from your extensive trobleshooting expiereince that the problem was "Dead battery, or battery with really low charge"

Gee, I don't know. Do you think he was too dumb to not check fuses like you suggested? Thanks for your comments, Mr. smartass.
