Maybe something caused the truck to loose excite voltage. The white wire on the front regulator terminal needs to have 24v when running or the alt will just spin and not make power. I believe the way the truck was intended to operate, when oil pressure comes up once the engine starts it triggers...
Maybe bad ground. Try adding a big negative wire from the batts negative to a sanded spot on the main frame rail. There are relays under the power board that control 12 and 24 volts to the panel. The panels can develop bad solder joints. Relays go bad over time.
The battery voltage code is the one you want to hunt down first. Replace relays clean breaker panel tabs. Polarity box connections etc. Low voltage or loss of will cause all kinds of codes.
If you recently got the truck with dead batteries and someone tried to jump start it that somehow spikes the trans tcm. You can see if you have power to the tcm. The keypad gets its power from the tcm.
Run a new ground cable from the batts negative to a sanded spot on the main frame rail. I would then run a temporary wire from the battery positive to the front terminal on the regulator. See if your voltage still drops out.
The lbcd is involved with voltage regulation. When you put battery voltage directly to the front regulator terminal you are bypassing all of that. If you have battery voltage at that terminal the alt should put out proper voltage. Did you make sure the alt had a good ground strap. Ive seen...
Bad batteries can cause a voltage spike and shut the alt down but you would still have battery voltage at the dash gauge. Does the truck have a small box to the right of the battery box? There is a low voltage cutoff relay in there. I would also check all the grounds. The main ground cable goes...
