battery light

When driving, battery light flashes on. I close the window out and after 20 miles or so the warning goes off. No running or electrical issues during all this. Truck runs great.

I’d check the battery voltage both off and running. Maybe your alternator is starting to die or connections are bad (loose or dirty or frayed)

I just purchassed the truck and it has the Coyote engine. I drove to St. Louis on the weekend. The trip down, about 600 miles, it popped up about 20 times. On the trip back it didn't pop up even once. Maybe loose connection or needing more grounds?

I wouldn’t think you’d need more grounds. Just look at all the connections you can find and tighten/clean them. I’d still suggest checking the voltage first.
