My truck stalled out for no reason the other day, but it cranked right back up. Alternator and battery checked out good. However, there was some sort of 'tick' or 'blip' or something on the alternator test. Could be a bad connection? Has anyone ever cleaned their alternator with an electrical component spray cleaner?

Also, recently I have been experiencing low power at low speeds. Once I get up to 40ish it feels more normal, but it feels like something is wrong. It almost feels like the parking brake is engaged, but of course it's not.. Check Engine is NOT lit up..

I've searched all over, and I have cleaned my IAC and MAF, but I'm not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions about what to check?
