My van ran out of gas, so I put gas in the carb.

Your truck doesn't have a carb, it's fuel injected. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank.

In tank fuel pumps are cooled and lubricated by the fuel in the tank. When you run a car out of gas, it pumps a lot of air through the pump which overheats it and causes some severe wear and many times, failure when they cool off.
You will need to use a fuel pressure gauge to verify this
