"Truck(diesel) starts ,temp gauge goes to hot,fuel gauge goes to empty...runs for 10-15 secs and dies"
I would say you have 2 different concerns;
"runs for 10-15 secs and dies" [Primary concern, makes truck usable as anchor only].
"starts ,temp gauge goes to hot,fuel gauge goes to empty" [secondary to if the truck is usable, since some of these do that but then goes to normal operation after the gauges sweeping full length ?checking gauge needle sweep?]
have you bleed the fuel injectors and have good clean fuel getting to the pump?
have you checked the fuses?

Fact of the week

When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
