Hi,
The idea that the lights flickered before the engine stopped does sound like it is electrical. I'm not sure why you were told the alternator test was NA.
Here is the thing. Most alternators have an internal voltage regulator, but this truck is different. It is actually a voltage regulating circuit located within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that does the job.
Here is what I suggest. First, I need you to test the alternator output. It is really easy to do.
All you will need is a voltmeter or a multimeter. Follow the directions in this link:

If the alternator fails the test, you will need to remove it and have it bench tested. If it fails under these conditions, replace it. If it doesn't fail, suspect the PCM has failed.
Here are directions that explain how to replace the alternator:

Additionally, I attached the directions below specific to your vehicle.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
