What should I check to track down this increase in voltage drop?

Get your voltmeter out, ground the (-) lead and then
probe the pathway from main bus through the diode
to the e-bus.
I've never seen a diode fail in such a manner. You
could swap a new one in temporarily as part of the
investigation but I don't think your going to find
that to be root cause.

Is there another diode of choice now of a Diode I can use to swap in its place? Where can I purchase the AEC9001 Schottky Power Diode if that's a better option. |
Pull the fast-ons off the old diode and push them
onto a new diode without mounting it to get a quick
voltage check. You're going to have to crawl around
under there to get at the pathway joints anyhow.
Return on investment for 'going Schottky' is limited.
