My brother had a 90' 7.3 with a similar and intermittent problem. On his truck, it was the wire connectors that connect to the alternator. After new batteries, new alternator, and new regulator didn't fix the problem, he replaced the connectors and hasn't had a problem since.

My E250 was doing the same thing.It was the new alternator i bought from the auto store.After installing it out of the box it charged the battery for about 2 min then stop.It would do this every cold start.I took it back to the auto store three times to have them test it.Every time i took it back they said it was a good alternator.In the long run it was the alternator after paying some one to tell me that.
