If you put fuel into the intake and it starts and keeps running, replace the engine coolant sensor.

The very first thing you should see is the oil pressure gauge start to indicate pressure. (This is assuming you have an oil pressure gauge, but all large trucks have them.) If you don't have any pressure within five seconds, turn the engine off.
