Already Tried:
Tightening my battery cables and changing my alternator, I just bought the truck 3 weeks ago and it has only done this a few times.

Accepted Answer

I would replace any suspect wires and also have the alternator and batteries tested. The truck will shut down under extreme high or low system voltage conditions.
