Started having issues with it so I replaced spark plugs and wires and MAP sensor, and it ran for a couple of weeks. I went to go to town, and it won't start.

It is common on these trucks to have the fuel pump go out; can you turn the key on without cranking the engine over? Then listen for the fuel pump to come on inside the gas tank, it should run for about 5 seconds. If not, here is how you can change the pump out (I would get an AC Delco Pump). Also, change the fuel pump relay as well.
