Drove truck to gas station. After filling up I got no power at all when turning the key. The truck started with a jump and continued to run after disconnecting the jumper cables. But after turning off the truck and trying to start, I got no power.

Hello,

It sounds like you might have a bad battery.
Since the vehicle ran after the jump without issue and you are unable to start it afterwards, it points to the battery.

You also want to make sure that the battery terminals are secured and clean of any corrosion. As that can lead to no power and no start.

Here is a helpful guide on typical battery symptoms and battery replacement procedure:

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
