I had a similar problem and believe it or not it was the CAT. An easy way to test for this is to remove the O2 sensor right in front of the CAT. Once you removed it, plug it back in while unscrewed from the exhaust pipe and start up the truck. If it runs fine, the CAT is your problem. This is just a guess and it would be an easy and very cheap($0) test. You did not say if the truck was diesel or gas. Mine is gas that was exhibiting the same problem as yours...good luck!

could be the battery, sometimes all the electrical would stay on but the battery doesnt have enough juice to crank the car over, if not check the alternater.

Could be your alternator. If you can get it started again. Try to have the alternator checked out.

Won,t start after it sits a while
Alternator may be faulty and not charging the battery or you may have a voltage leak to ground which is discharging the battery like a clock or radio light or some other faulty electrical component leaking power.

The alternator is the easiest to check. Does the battery go flat as you drive it? If not its probably not the alternator. You could check it with a current meter when the engine is running.

You could do the same with the battery when the engine is off to see what the current drain is. This might give you an angle on the thing which is draining the battery.

You could have blown the main fuse while doing the jump start. Also check the fusible link on the power battery cable.

I have a 1985 dodge ram with a rebuilt 360 it starts and runs good for about 20 or so minutes and then looses power and dies and won't start back till it sits for 10 or 15 mins, I have no clue what is...
After it dies, check the spark and make sure it is able to jump at least a 1/4 or better gap and has "snap" to it, not orange and "fluffy". Also if no spark, check the ignition box on the fender. Both coil and ign box can misbehave if they have an internal problem after they get hot. If you have a lean burn computer on the air cleaner tap on it lightly with a wrench etc. (sounds crude but it works) If the engine stutters or changes how it idles, the computer is bad. (one that old can be converted to older ignition system but check emissions regulations before doing that.
If ignition system is working, make sure that the carb is not flooding and that fuel pressure is around 5-7psi.at the carb inlet.

I have a 2000 BMW 740 i. New battery. Went to start it (was running fine all day), and nothing. Jumped it and started. Chugged a couple times but then ran fine. Got home 45 minutes later. turned off...
check the alternator and wiring to battery. if belt is ok. then when car is off, voltage at battery should be at least 12.6 or better. when it is running, at battery should be at least 14.1 to 14.7. jump start car, try this, with car running, remove negative battery cable car should still run, if alternator is ok. if it quits when taking cable off,of battery. its the alternator thats bad. but if it run ok with cable off. then its your battery.

96 Dodge Ram suddenly had low bat power - hard start - runs poor
Any time the computer loses power it has to go threw a set of things to Learn how to run the car, it must go threw relearning process sometimes they never set all flags because you don't drive in conditions to set a flag, for example if you are in the desert and never drive up a hill like in Colorado then you would never meet that flag requirement, as for the low voltage it seems that the ASD shorts out on these rigs and sets the codes so you have to do a pin out of the computer to see if you have a bad ground a bad asd or asd relay and you would have to charge your battery to full capacity and do a voltage test and a load test on the battery and then see if the alternator is putting out.. Check the battery and charging system first.
