You may have fried your computer.....un hook the battery and re hook it to the truck and see if that re-sets the computer.....did you have a power programmer and you didn't set your truck to stock before you re-connected the battery.

Default check your under dash GEM module

there should be a GEM module under the dash near the side kick pannel on driver side, its up in there pretty far there are a small group of wires going to it, many times this has been known to get shorted out from moisture and/or water getting to it, be certain it is clean and dry at the connectors. Hope that helps your problem! Aslo check your primary battery fuse a 20 amp fuse near the pass side in engine compartment, as well check the two large fuse relays there as well as what others have recomended
