Not enough information here to help much. Please furnish some background info. How long did it run before dying? Battery good? Has spark? Getting fuel? Past history? What have you tried?

well it has ran great before it decided to stop running i dont know if it has spark i currently dont have the time to check but when it stoped running i check the oil cause i noticed some down by the lower radior support and there was no oil showing up on the dip stick so i have added new oil and im still not sure what could be wrong i was told it might be the timing chain that could be broke but yeah the truck has 204600miles on it so that might be y and it is getting fuel hope this is enough info to help find out what might be wrong
