bad battery cables... bad ground cables.. bad control wires to/from alternator.
even a bad connection or a rusted ground nut....
there is so many things then can cause this...
sounds like you need to take it someplace that does car/truck electrical service/repairs.
changing out parts will not fix this...

Clean electrical connections are a must. If you have a lose most of the time it's the ground connection you will have charging issues. Dont forget to look ath the starter. All of your charging goes through there to the battery. It has a direst connection to the battery and all the power goes through there. Also I like to clean the surface around the connection to the frame and connect the ground then prime and paint over it to keep dirt and water out.
