Since it will start with ether, that would suggest you are not getting enough fuel.
Have you checked to make sure the fuel pump inertia cutoff switch is not tripped? The owner's manual should explain where the switch is located, probably at the passenger side footwell. It would also be wise to check for voltage to and through the inertia cutoff switch to increase confidence that power is making it to the fuel pump.
Based on the model year the fuel pump, as suggested above, is a likely culprit, but if you haven't replaced the fuel filter since you've owned the truck, you may start there. If you end up putting a fuel pump in this to get it working you'd want a new fuel filter installed anyway, so it would not be wasted effort and money to go ahead and replace the filter now. It is a routine maintenance item, afterall.
