Dead on the road HELP!!

Got a weird one.
Just went through a bad lift pump and some air leaks a few weeks ago and truck has been doing great.
On a business trip and went out to the truck this morning and it cranked over and would fire briefly (like the issue above) tried to prime it but it has plenty of fuel. I had to go to meetings all day so had someone pick me up for the meetings. Got back this afternoon tried to crank it and it cranked right up. I shut it off and when I went back to crank it literally 2 minutes later itwas a no go. While I was under the hood looking for anything out of the ordinary I noticed that the upper radiator hose was completely colapsed. I opened the radiator cap to relieve the pressure, plenty of coolant. It was in the low 40s last night but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
I've got to head home in the morning so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
