How long does this last? What other conditions is your truck undergoing? Acceleration? Deceleration? Are you turning on any accessories? Turning right or left? ETC...

It definitely sounds like something is amiss with the alternator and/or its wiring.

Have you tried to pop the hood and rev it slowly and see if it still does it without driving it, that way you can listen and see if the alternator is whining, etc.. you may be able to hear if anything is abnormal... you may also want to check the wires coming off the alternator

Grounding out. Broken inside the insulation. Anything that could be vibration or otherwise related to how/when the problem occurs.
