I was driving 60 mph and all my dash lights and radio went dead, I lost no power to my engine and it affected nothing in my driving. It happened three times to me yesterday. After it happens all the idiot light come on and go off like when you start the truck.

The only way you are going to find out is to first test the battery and then the charging system. You could also have an intermittent power connection problem. These things need to be inspected.

You could have a faulty ignition switch as well.
