if you lost dash and all elec function you might have a Alt problem....are both the light bubbles on your batterys GREEN?? also check to make sure you dont have a lose connection on the back of the ALT. Jump it with another truck and check voltage at the back of the ALT also.

it could be numerous things, but check the voltage on your batteries before you jump it. it should read around 11-12 volts. if not then either your batteries are dead or the alternator. any auto parts store should be able to test them for you.
