I have the truck listed above 1500 with a 318. It was having an alternator problem not charging the battery. Well I still didn't solve the problems. I was able to jump that alternator to the battery and it will charge it but my issue is now as I turn my key over and I have no power on the cluster. Fuel pumps not kicking on I have no idea what's going on with it. I have a good battery in it it just won't start. It was starting yesterday put a little fuel in the throttle body and it would start and run but I could hear the fuel pump kicking on. Now it's not doing anything. I hear the door chiming and that's it. It'll turn over but won't crank. I have checked fuses and seem to be good. I have even changed some of the relays around to the fuel pump one to see if it was good and still nothing.

Hello,

It sounds like the battery is weak/bad connection. also I would put the alternator wiring back to the way it was. here is a wiring diagram to help you and a guide:

Would that cause my dash lights not to work and my fuel pump not to kick in?

The ASD relay controls these items. here is a guide to help test the relay and the location as well:
