Gauges shutting off and reseting

Hey guys whats going on. So I have a little problem. I have a 03 F550 reg cab with the 6.0 in it. About 6 or so months ago i lucked out at 97k miles and got a factory refurb long block installed under warranty. So i was driving from miami to tampa one night about 3 weeks ago and i was about 2/3 way through the trip i thought i noticed a slight dimming of the lights a couple of times. I thought maybe i was tired so didnt think anything of it. about a week later i was making the same trip during the day and again towards the end of the trip i heard a click then all my gauges and radio shut off for about 2-3 seconds, then they recalibrated themselves and everything was fine. it has gotten steadily worse. as of this friday my tech was driving and i was in the passenger seat and it happened to him, this was also after a long period of driving, he saw the battery light flicker then the click then all the gauges went down again. that friday it happend like 7-8 times in the course of 15 minutes. After i parked it for a couple hours it was fine, although it was only a 20 min ride home. any ideas?
