A couple of things- Does engine start well, cold or hot? Have you noticed loss of power? Does it smoke?(maybe an indication of a blown head gasket) Do you notice water in the oil?(another indication of head gasket failure or warped heads) Do you notice an engine miss (a putt-putting sound at the exhaust pipe) There are other indicators as well, but these are the most common with an overheat-damaged engine. I just put a 3.1 in my son's car and the reason was that the heads warped so badly that it was cheaper to find a good, decent mileage engine.

You ran your chev silverado with out water in the radiator and it quit running What can you expect for damages to the engine?
Most likely at least cracked heads. Hot enough....cracked block. Oil also thins out a lot at those temps. Could be some bearing damage. Piston damage occasionally. Probably completely trashed it to be honest. But as said before, I'd certainly expect to replace the heads and all gaskets.
What happens if my car ran out of oil and it stops in the street?
If your car literally "ran out of oil", that's generally a very bad thing; it's quite likely that attempting to drive a car with no oil will cause enough damage to the engine that you will essentially need to replace it.
