If you called me up and asked me to come over and fix your truck because of a no-start condition, and seeing that it cranks (BTW, this is identical in meaning to, "turns over", but neither phrase means it fires when doing so), the very first thing I would do after performing a visual for obvious problems would be to.....diagnostics to determine if it's lacking fuel or fire (spark). You want (and need) to do this because it minimizes the subsequent diagnostics by ~50 % and allows you to focus on relevant parts (and right now, it sounds like the fuel pump is just a big guess). Also, in light of how gas has up to 10% alcohol in it (unless you are making it a point to buy and run E0), the possibility of a frozen fuel line exists, but is low on the list. This because, alcohol absorbs water, and will remove it from the fuel system, like those $1 bottles of heat do, but that we don't have to use anymore. Nonetheless, at the moment this is a moot matter until the most basic diagnostics are performed (visual for problems, followed by the fuel or fire question). To do this will take 10-20 minutes of time.
