My truck was struggling to go up hills then it would get up to speed I would have to let off the accelorater to let it change gears because it was at 3000 rpm and would shift so when I stopped I shut the truck off and tried to start it back it wont do nothing but turn over and wont start I hear the fuel pump turning on so want could be the problem

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark related issue

Get a starting fluid or ether and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, 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. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
