Do you smell fuel at the intake with the cover removed?

Are you sure your plugs are sparking?

Those two things jump immediately to mind.

What made you go through all of that work? Were there any codes? Have you tested fuel pressure?

P0120 - Throttle Position [TP] Sensor Circuit
P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)

I would handle the throttle position code first. Check out the other TPS codes in the OBDII Code Index link in my signature for a wiring diagram and check out the wires as well as do a functional test on the TPS sensor. By back probing the sensor return wire with the ignition on, you should see ~0.5V at idle and ~4.5V at wide open throttle. The reference line should have +5V and there should be a ground. If either of these two are missing, the TPS sensor will not be feeding the proper information to the PCM.

You can also run down through the P0420 link I provided and see if anything jumps out at you.

But I would definitely test the fuel pressure. Fuel pressure problems are well known with these trucks.
