Alternator bad?
Can't reset the DTCs. Tried to reprogram to stock but programmer said batteries too low. Pulled both batteries took them to checker and they recharged batteries and they checked good. Put them back in the truck and all lights gone for about 10 seconds then they came back again, truck running rough them it stalled. Went to start it and the batteries acted like they were low and it wouldn't start. Pulled the batteries again and took them to autozone this time, they said batteries were low and needed to charge at least an hour. They charged them and they check good. Cleaned all terminals and put batteries back in truck No lights for at least 5 mins, then same thing, warning lights flickered then stayed on hard and truck stalled. I also hear relays clicking in the dash and under the hood. Even with the key off.
DTCs are
P1690
P0755
P0743
P1754
P0381
P0230
P1662
P0603
P0470
P1139
P0750
P0755
P0743
P0541
P0640
P1105
P1106
Any help would be appreciated. Also while truck running put a voltmeter on the batteries, both were 12.30 volts. Also has a noise like a relay latch or faint turn signal under left Battery. Sound is heard every four seconds.
I took the Alternator and got it tested. It tested bad, I put a brand new one in, same problem.

P0603 is a KAM Error... assuming your running a chip. P1105 and 1106 are showing an alternator fault... does you truck have dual alternators. A bad alternator can have some weird affects on these trucks. Atleast get these codes up for the gurus to come thru and clean up.
Invest in a good battery charger that auto-transitions from charge to "trickle", and let them charge for about three days each. You don't want a real high charge rate, as it creates excess heat and hydrogen gas. The excessive gas tends to displace too much electrolyte, causing it to "boil over". Not good. A slower charge will be much healthier for each battery.
Properly done, a good battery charge takes some time.
Buy a quality electrolyte hydrometer to verify the charge state. A good one will include a thermometer for compensation.

A bad connection is just as bad as a dead battery: no power gets through.
I can't tell you how many times I've gotten dead cars started right off of the tow truck simply by cleaning the battery posts.
