Welcome to FTE and the Big Bronco Forum. We will do our best to get you the most accurate info we can.
That is a pretty vague description of the problem. I am going to assume it will no longer start. Does it crank? Any visible leaks since it died? If you are certain you have the ignition trilogy (Air, fuel, heat/spark) and it still won't start you are probably dealing with a mechanical failure.
Any indication as to where in the truck this alleged "pop" came from?
