Why not test it with an voltmeter if you can get your hands on one

It wont take long if the alt is junk. I know the autozone guys are sometimes retards, but have them check the alt, battery and codes. I am sure there is a CEL on right now for a dead battery, alt low signal, etc. There are like 4 possibilities for your problem that would illuminate the CEL

Its running fine now, just did a read that said after fully replacing the battery, the idle memory has to re-set itself after a few minutes. This because of having no power in the truck.

Good. Glad to hear. I would still check to make sure the alternator isn't bad and killing the new battery.
