Sounds like fuel related problem-

Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

Thank you for your quick response-when I turn the key to the on position I only hear a slight click and the nothing. This happened after starting the truck and moving up the drive ,I stopped and it died .Could a crankshaft sensor be a possibility .

If there's a problem with the CPS I don't think it will start-this one here tells the computer to fire the coils

Problem here could be also the ignition switch for the ( when I turn the key to the on position I only hear a slight click and the nothing ).
