    Did you remove the alternator and have it tested, or was it tested while the vehicle was running? Have you load-tested the battery?

    Does jump-starting work? If you're not too far from a parts store, I would drive the truck down there and have them test the alternator while it's in the truck. Sometimes it doesn't give a completely accurate reading if it's not under full load.

    You can also have your battery tested at the same place you had the alternator tested. It shouldn't drop down past 10-10.5V while under load.
