Check your fuses. Most newer cars have a lock switch for the transmission that prevents you putting it in gear unless you have your foot on the brake pedal.

Should your car stay running when you take the pos battery termanal off?
A battery is used to start a car. Once it is running, the alternator then supplies electrical energy to charge the battery as well as power the electrical systems in the car. Removing the battery while the car is running will not affect the running of the car.
Supplies the electrical pressure in an automotive circuit?
The "electrical pressure" probably refers to the voltage. This is usually provided by a battery. The battery is recharged by the engine when it is running.
How do you get the alternator to turn over?
The alternator is run by a belt connected to the engine. When the engine is running the alternator is turning. The alternator is what produces the electrical current that charges the battery & powers everything electrical while the engine is running. the battery is mainly to start the engine.
Purpose of a battery?
to crank the engine and then function as a capacitor for unused electrical energy when the alternator is running

Something is discharging the battery when it is not running. Have the electrical system checked.
Would a bad alternator cause the truck to stop running?
Yes, the alternator provides electrical energy to keep the battery charged. If the alternator isn't functioning, the battery will discharge and there will be insufficient electrical energy to operate the ignition and other electrical components. Understand that a battery is only an electrical STORAGE device. Electrical energy is produced by the alternator. The function of the battery is to provide electrical energy for NEXT time you want to start the engine. Once the engine is started, the alternator must take care of all electrical requirements of the vehicle as well as for providing enough additional electrical energy to replace electrical energy to the battery that was last used when the engine was started.
You changed battery but battery light still came on then it went off why?
Check alternator with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running reading should be approx. 13.8 - 14.2 volts
Can a cigarette lighter drain the car battery if the car is on?
If the car is on (Ignition is on, engine is running) then no. Nothing should drain the battery when the car is running, there is a device called an alternator with a belt that usually goes around the crankshaft that transforms the mechanical energy into electrical energy. As long as you have the car running, the battery should not die. If so, you have a mechanical problem.
