Check the oil and if it's ok disconnect the battery for a few minutes and retry it! I hope your truck has oil in it???

Is your oil gauge reading correctly on the dash? Do you have a check gages light on? If either of those, check fluid level, add if needed, drain if needed. It is possible you may have a bad oil pump if you have oil pressure at 0 or check gages light on. Report back with your findings.

Did it do this prior to service?

Why was check engine light on? Resetting without fixing the problem is not a good idea. Could be your issue.

My best guess is the alternator is failing.
