My boyfriend's car used to do that too sometimes. So, when it was really bad what he'd do is super slowly roll up to the stop, that way he could hopefully avoid stopping completely. He eventually got new spark plugs or whatever and it's not as bad...although it's still a little shaky on speeds under 30.

IF it's your alternator, you will be able to restart it only as long as the battery lasts, which won't be long. You're using the juice in the battery to restart it while not recharging the battery. get a new alternator. Also, it may be stalling becausse of an ignititon problem, but if you know you're alternator is bad, start with that.

Ok but can the car still run if it's already running when the batteries completely dead, as in if I keep it revved for the entire trip (even at stops)?

Im not totally sure but I would think it would change the battery, if you just let it idle. But make sure you dont kill the battery in the truck doing that.
