It was an IDM. It still is strange that... When that mega fuse is on a different circuit than the starter... The fuse blowing played a direct role in the starter activating. As you guys probably know there are a number of electrical systems that, if obstructed, are designed to negate the signal to the starter. The IDM seems to be one of these systems for whatever cause. A Google search will reveal others with no start problems due to the IDM. Ultimately the problem isn't solved because the IDM is just way too expensive and in fact that wire to the starter is still unplugged and zip-tied off to prevent it from arching. Strangly enough it seems all the visible system are functional regardless of the disconnected cable and to he honest I have no plans in the very near future to poke around again. I already hate just having to turn the key for fear of the #### thing not starting again. I have done multiple tow calls since and the truck has done it's job. I do think that , with your guys help, I was close to isolating the problem. Out of pure frustration with it one last mechanic beat me to the punch and honestly I'm fine with that at this point. Thanks folks.
