    while you are awaiting delivery make sure all grounds are in great shape & use di-electric grease wherever possible...you know check battery ground to cab, frame, engine etc...(i add grounds)...i have a gut feeling this is why the truck died while driving

    ^ +1 on that. So many electrical gremlins creep in over time and most of them are due to dirty earth contacts. Hunt down the earth leads in the engine bay, disconnect them and give them a good degrease and clean with steel wool (even wire wheel the earth lead bolts if you can). They might be dirty enough to interfere with the truck starting, charging and running accessories. Had a similar issue with a Hilux - after going through the earth leads it stamped out the electrical problems. Good luck
