When you run the truck, disconnect the battery cable. See if it continues to run.
Or, take the truck to a parts store and have them check the charging voltage.

Never disconnect the battery when the engine is running. That' can easily damage a perfectly good charging system.

Does your positive battery terminal have 2 wires coming off of it - a thick one going to the starter and a smaller one that gives battery voltage to power the rest of the truck? If you have corrosion at the point those two wires meet then I could see how you might lose battery voltage to the whole truck even though it was running and the alternator was working. I don't know what you did to fix the problem but you might want to take a close look at your battery cables and replace them if corroded.

Oh the joys of owning a GM vehicle with the absolute worst battery connection system in history. Then to make them worse they put this big monstrous hunk of rubber in there so you need to be on the verge of stripping the threads out of the battery to make a good connection. There have been quite a few people make fun of my battery cables but they never ever corrode. I took all the rubber******off my cables and screwed a 3/8 bolt into the battery with a nut and washer on it to use as a jam nut. Then sprayed the **** out of it with battery cable .

Not to mention the possible fire hazard.
