Default 2003 F350 Diesel eating up batteries...........help!

Bought it new. Has only 41,000 miles on it. I've already gone through at least 4 sets of batteries. If parked for more than 2 days, it WON'T start. Batteries totally dead. Nothing is left on. Lights set to auto, but I've also tried just turning them OFF. Same result.

Once the batteries die, then then will be dead after the truck sits even overnight.

No rhyme or reason that my mechanics have found - haven't taken it to a dealership yet. I have been told by others that it appears that my brake lights come on randomly by themselves while the truck is parked! I haven't seen it, but have no reason to doubt their accounts of it. They claim the lights will come on, stay on for a few minutes and then go off. Mechanics have replaced the brake switch thinking that was it, but batteries are still dying like flies.

Anyone have any ideas? Other than the dead battery issue, it's been a great truck. But this is getting ridiculous.
