Changed fuel pump but vehicle idles down intermittently at stops. Sometimes while idling down the truck shuts off. Usually, it would start back up but last time it went to no crank no start scenario leaving me pushing off roadway. Attempted to jump start with another vehicle and nothing. No crank no start even with jump. i have power to dash headlights, at one point i even had a horn that worked while pushing which i haven't had. any ideas??

It sounds like a battery that can be shorting out internally or one of the cylinders is filling up with coolant or fuel, have you noticed the engine overheating, loss of coolant? poor fuel mileage, we need more information to help you. Please go over this video to help us see what's going on:
