You can pull your spark plug and connect it to the wire and have someone crank the engine while holding the end of the spark plug grounded to something metal on the engine. Hold the insulated part and stay insulated or this is a shocking experience.

What happened previous to you not being able to start the truck?

Check the basics, like do you have spark? fuel?
