Welcome to FTE.
Takes air, fuel, compression & spark to make em run, so whats going missing????
What engine in this puppy???
Did it overheat, if so, for how long & how bad???
Have you checked compression???
Have you tried ether, or a starting fluid????

 

it's the 4.0. it was 40 below when this happened and the truck never over heated per the gauge. when it happened my truck made no noises it just shut down. I have spark, fuel and compression. when i uses starting fluid it backfires out the throttle body bad flames and bangs

 

Well if its back firing through the throttle body, you have spark, but it sounds like timing is off, so use your inductive timing light on cyl #1, passenger side front, to have a look at spark timing when the engine is cranked.
Having to use a starting fluid suggests you also have a fuel delivery problem, so check KOEO fuel pressure at the fuel rail Schrader valve test port & post up the Number. It should be 64 +/- 8psi.
Use your ELM, or other scantool to look for set, or pending trouble code clues & post up All code Numbers.
EDIT: When you changed the plugs, did you check for compression??? When replacing the plugs, did you also replace the plug wires & if so, are you certain you got them routed properly, snapped on the plugs securely, routed as the factory had them & plugged into the coil pack correctly????

 

BUMP:
Well ford 03 did you get er fixed, curious minds would like to know????

 

I'm waiting on a few parts. But it is not fixed yet. Had to go out of town tell next week will post numbers next Tuesday. Thanks pawpaw

 

Ok, will be interesting to hear how it goes.
