well jump it again take it to advanced auto or some place like that have them test the battery and alternator. since you only had it happen twice i would say the gas problem was probably not it.

You're in school? English teacher needs to be fired.
As for the truck, Get a meter on it make sure it's
charging. Then Make sure you are hearing fuel pump
prime when you turn the key on. If so I would
suggest a bottle of dry gas or water remover in the
tank and fill it.

The voltage regulator for your charging system is in the PCM (engine computer). Nobody has mentioned that it could've failed. Hopefully not, but it's a possiblity. Have you made sure to clean the battery posts real well? High resistance at any of the battery cable connections will result in your battery not getting enough current.
