I would disconnect the battery, then reconnect and have someone jump the car while trying to start. Seems like a safety error that shut your car off so your fuel pump wouldn't burn out.
Most newer cars are very sensitive to being ran low on gas. The fuel pump is in the tank and relies on fuel to cool it down. Your fuel pump is now probably not pumping the required pressure for the fuel injection system to work properly (or at all).
Take off the smaller wire off the starter motor. Put the key in the start position and hold it there for a few seconds. Listen for the fuel pump running. If you hear it running then it feels like it stopped, then let go of the key and reinstall that wire on the starter motor. It should start.
I am assuming you gave the fuel pump sufficient time to refill the fuel lines and pressurize the system before coming to the conclusion that it won't start. That said, you could try the fuel filter, but it is most likely going to be the fuel pump itself, especially if it is the original pump from the vehicle. Fuel pumps reside in the fuel tank and are cooled by the gasoline that surrounds it. If you are one who is always running low on fuel or just putting a gallon or two in it to keep going, you are accellerating the death of the fuel pump. I have seen many instances in the MOPAR minivans where a fresh fillup after a low fuel/run out of gas episode finished off an older fuel pump.
your fuel filter maybe plug try this website to see if they have your truck listed its www.autozone.com if they do you be able to check on a price and get pictures and diagram too and here is another one www.alldatadiy.com for repair information too.
