While drinking, the truck shut off and won't start. It won't crank but the headlights come on. Has a new battery and the cables are clean. The muffler has a hole

What is the correct engine size? You have a 2.2L or a 3.9L. They have very different ignition systems with different troubleshooting steps. What have you checked so far? What sounds do you hear when you try to crank the engine?
