So truck was overheating and probably had a air pocket in the cooling system from lost fluid. Shown by the loss of heat.
Top off and drive it watching a temp gauge that doesn't move from middle until it's already overheated, rise towards the red. Then the gauge drops to Cold just before you shut down. The sender probably went to a temp that was so outside of spec the system faulted to Cold.
Odds are the fuel pump didn't fail at the same time. Maybe melted the injector o-rings.
I hope I'm wrong but I would put odds on the motor is cooked. Never drive these when there is a cooling system problem, 9/10 times it's fatal to the motor

Thanks for the help guys. So I ran a diagnostic and everything checks out fine (minus the o2 sensors). I checked the schrader valve and there is fuel. It doesn't have pressure just kind of pours out, but then again the motor isn't running. Its still turning over so next I will check the spark plugs and the starter. I don't think that the motor is dead. It is giving me no signs that its cooked.
