Ok, when you switch the ignition to the on position, can you hear the fuel pump? Do you usually hear it? (If no, turn on the ignition, then quickly exit and listen right under the driver's seat. If you don't hear it, that's a problem. When you're cranking the engine, does the tach move? Is your oil level good?
Do you have a Digital Multi Meter (DMM)? We'll wan't to do a couple things with that. What is the voltage of the batteries?
Can you tell us more about what was going on when it died (what it sounded like, where it was, temp, recent fuel up???)

If the tach does not come up while cranking on a 2000 truck, the it sounds like you've got a CPS problem. I'd double check, but if you can crank for 10 seconds and the tach stays at 0, then head to Ford or IH and get yourself another CPS.

JK, if you don't have one, have you had the recall for the CPS done yet?

A 10mm socket/wrench and a screw driver to pry it out and about 10 minutes to do it. It's on the passenger side front of the engine by the water pump.
