Default Battery and alternator test good, still dies while running.

2005 5.4 fx4. So my truck Died the other day while driving. Figured it was the alternator but took both it and the battery to O'Reilly s and had them tested. They charged the battery and said it was fine and tested the alternator 3 times (I didnt believe the machine) and determined it was also ok. Cleaned up my terminals cuz they were pretty bad and the truck ran fine for a couple days (more time than running on just the charged battery would allow)
But then yesterday died again. Had a buddy jump me and I got to my house and the thing would run all day if I let it. Tell thismorning went to start it dead again. Jumped it but its dying now..fusable link maybe? I don't know how to test and would hate to buy a knew one and that not be it. any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
