Truck not starting

So my trucks heater valve broke the other day and I replaced it then I refilled my resovior but forgot to refill radiator so when I drove down the road my truck overheated and shut off after making a weird sound for a couple minutes after filling the radiator now it doesn't want to fire I get a little bit of firing when I try to crank it with my foot on the gas but other than that it doesn't seem to fire

It was about 10 to 15 minutes that I was driving like that before it completely shut off

Others with more experience will likely chime in, but i'd be surprised if you haven't cracked the heads completely. I don't think you will have got away with running so long without coolant, it's very likely fcuked.
