1999 Yukon looses power when switching into gear after idling. No issue while truck is idling and not moving. Once I put the truck in gear and drive off it attempts to loose power and sputters. The battery seems to die because the clock resets. There's a clicking sound coming from the left side of the dash. The issue corrects itself after I rapidly accelerate. reoccurs each time I start the truck.

You need to make sure the battery cables are clean and tight have the battery tested and alternator tested.
