Default ran out of gas?

before you drop the tank (lots of work and heavy). Disconnect the fuel line at the injector manifold to see if you have flow (volume) and if you have a pressure gauge, measure the pressure. To disconnect the line, you need a common service tool that separates the fitting and it should be available at a good auto store (not chain brands).

Your truck does not have a conventional fuel filter so it is possible that the pump sucked up some debris and plugged the screen.

My first question would be "did you really run out of gas" or did something else happen.

Also, per the other comments, it is never good to run low or out of gas. It is very hard on the pump. The reason is that when the pump is immersed in the fuel, the fuel acts as a cooling medium and keeps the pump from over heating.
