Flickering battery light/engine stalls

I have 96 PSD and the battery light on the dash flickers at RPMS below 1200, and the Volts gauge noticealby flickers between the R and the M on the gauge. Consequently when Im sitting at a Red light or starting from stop the engine stalls, (Shuts off then starts again very quick). I have just recently replaced both batteries, Starter and Alternator. I have no clue where to look next. Any help would be great. Thanks

Josh

Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts Josh.

Have you checked all the power and ground cables to and from all the new parts?

Is it possible that the battery cables may need repacing? The Starter solenoid wouldnt be causing this would it?

Check thes connections for corrosion, loose or bent pins, or loose eyelets:
-three pin voltage regulator connector
-one pin S connector
-B+ cable eyelet
-power distribution box eyelets
-battery cables

I went ahead and checked all the cables and they seemed to be in proper working condition so I took it out for a drive to see if it made any difference. This time when I went out, 5 min into the drive the Check Engine Light comes on and I lose all power. I pulled over turned the truck off and then started it again. I got another 5 minutes and the Volt Gauge starts waving again and it stalls but doesnt shut off. Could this be an injector malfunctioning or a fuel pump? I hooked it up to a reader and got no codes.
