you definately have an amp draw somewhere if it killing both batteries over night. Should be easy to find with a meter.

Step one remove all aftermarket add ons, 90% of draw problem are fixed then, the truck will try to take care of itself with rundown protection, but it can shut off accessories you hardwire.
