I changed my oil 300 miles ago. I drove to the local store I went in for 30minutes. When I came back out my truck started fine. Then it died. I attempted to start it. But no success. My change oil light came on and it sounds like the motor has no lubrication but it still turns over just won't start. Would this be from a bad oil pump or something else?

check oil level to ensure there is no leak. if oil is full then could be a bad pump. will have to test the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.
