Okay, so I checked all the grounding straps I could find. Double checked a few other things and grabbed a pile of fuses from a Tahoe at the salvage yard so I'd have a stock of replacements for emergencies.
I had gone through all the fuses when this first happened so I knew I was missing some and some had the wrong sizes. So I got all those straightened out.
I talked to my mechanic a few minutes ago and he encouraged me to double check all those fuses again. Since @Fless had mentioned before also, I figured it can't hurt and guess what I found.....
My truck not real high but I guess I missed it being in that bottom corner and didn't catch that it was blown.
Replaced it and truck fired right up.
I feel stupid but I'm not surprised at all. Just goes to show though, double check and triple check and don't take it for granted.
Thank you all for your help. You guys are awesome!

When you get a chance, go back to your first post about this, click on the 3 dots at the top right of post. Click on edit thread. Then leave the thread heading but add SOLVED to it so others know and then someone with a similar problem can see that and read thru it. Thanks

Good deal! Fuses happen. We always seem to apply something major to a problem, but this emphasizes the need to do the basics. Glad it's up and running and it wasn't a major fix.

I honestly think my problem was that the truck is just a little high and when you stand next to it and look at this panel, you have to kind of get up on your toes to see this fuse because of the plastic lip of the box. I think I just missed it.
