Depending on how old the battery is you may need to replace it, have your alt checked out also.

I've heard that these trucks have a very fussy voltage sensor. When my battery drained for the second time, it would start, but not run well (almost like it was choking out). It would not idle, even after driving around for a while. I replaced the battery and everything worked fine. Try that.

the charging system & battery are fine the head lights were left on all night long... the battery is charged and it cranks fine no spark or noise from fuel pump.. also fuse for O2 & gauges do not have 12v to them?

did your check your fuses? Check your plugs for spark... Take your battery to autozone and have them test it too....
