Also there seems to be a PARASITIC DRAIN since the battery is always dead after it sits for a week.

He uses the truck every day and needs it to be RELIABLE!

Main complaint is poor shifting and slipping of the transmission. He often hauls a heavy trailer, so this is important to fix to avoid any further damage. Transmission was replaced 5 years ago, and it never shifted very well.

Let's start from scratch and see why this workhorse Chevy is acting up.
