Hello, that is definitely a voltage drop issue, or charging system cutting in and out. Did you have the whole vehicle scanned for diagnostic trouble codes? There may be codes stored in other modules besides the engine computer and if you go to autozone or other parts store they can scan the only the engine computer. Do you notice any warning lights on the instrument cluster, any battery lights, anything like that?
I will post the wiring diagrams and a couple things to check. Do you own a basic multimeter that can read voltage up to 20 volts DC?
The computer in the vehicle controls the Alternator output by monitoring the charging system voltage on one wire and sending a pulsed signal on other wire to the Alternator, This system is actually a very simple one. But I will post more information shortly.
When you replaced the TIPM did you inspect all the connectors, even ones that may be unused. There is a Recall for the unused TIPM connections getting corroded because they are not sealed up from the elements. Since the TIPM is responsible for most of the electrical system. You may want to take a quick look at the TIPM connectors. I will still post more information and if you have a multimeter we can take some voltage readings coming from and going to the TIPM.
Ok so the first checks after looking at the TIPM connectors is this Fusible Link coming from the Alternator. Diagrams 3 and 4 go together. The Red wire on the left of diagram 4 from the Alternator(Generator) goes to the Fusible Link underlined in Green. It may be near the Starter Motor. Just make sure all connections are tight and clean at the Alternator to begin with. You'll notice the Red wire from the Alternator goes to the Fusible Link, down to the Starter Motor, then to the Positive Remote Post Battery(for jump starting) then to the Battery.
If you have a multimeter, just put the multimeter leads on Battery Positive and Negative with the meter set on 20volts DC. With the engine running and lights, blower motor on what does it read?
Also you will notice on the last diagram below, Engine coolant temperature and Oil Pressure are Highlighted. If there is any issues with either of these, the charging system will shut down or go into a default state of charging, so if you have those gauges and they look like they are not at their normal readings, that is an issue. I have more checks for you to do, but start with these.
