Robert, You may have to try this relearn procedure. Warm the engine, but hold your foot on the throttle as necessary to keep the engine running.
With vehicle in Park, slowly release the throttle so that the engine will idle on its own. You may have to work at this a bit.
Let the engine idle on its own for about one minute.
Continue to let the engine idle and with your foot on the brake, place the transmission in Drive and let the engine idle for another minute.
Continue to let the engine idle with your foot on the brake and the transmission in Drive. Turn the A/C on and let the engine idle for another minute with the A/C compressor running.

When you press on the gas when the truck is running, does it rev up?
Did it die while driving down the road (foot on the accelerator) or when idle? - If so, try cranking it and get your RPMs up to 1500-2000 RPMs and put it in drive (with your other foot on the brake). See if it will continue running if you never take your foot off the gas.
If the car actually ran out of gas, it could be air trapped in the fuel lines. it may take a few minutes for all the air to purge from the gas lines. The car may run rough during the process. The car should be fine after running a few minutes.
