95 chevy 1500 diagnosis advice

[stovepipe]

I own a 95 chevy 1500 with a 5.7 engine. The other day I'm driving home and my truck completely stalls out and has no power what so ever. To be more specific I didn't have lights, radio, key buzz nothing. Well by the time I got the under the hood I had power again and it cranked right up. I put it in drive and 5 minutes down the road and it stalls again with no power what so ever. I've been having problems recently with it stalling at stop signs/red lights but never with a loss of electrical systems. Any suggestions on what this could be? I appreciate the help.

check the electrical connections , also work the ignition key slightly could be ignition switch esp. at this age ..base of steering column..

Most likely loose or corroded batt cables. Corrosion could be under the plastic cable coating. Best to just replace both Pos & Neg cables.
