Well I don't have a '99 cab........

But, a similar thing happened with my '87 when the voltage regulator/ alternator went bad. First my radio shut off and then the car quit on me and failed to start. After I replaced the alternator everything worked fine again.

I'm sure someone will correct me, but I think a quick way to test if voltage regulator or alternator have gone bad is to check the voltage at your battery while the car is running. I believe it should read about 12.5-13v, but again someone with better skills than me will probably give you a better idea.

Good luck anyway.
