not sure but how do you know the battery is fried? Catch on fire or boiled down. What exactly do you mean?

Is it just dead?

More clarity needed for anyone to really give useful information. Start with a lot more information about your truck and the situation you were in, and the symptoms that led you to think your battery had a problem, and what diagnostic steps you have taken so far.
