Not sure, I tried repeatedly to psychically connect to your truck, but was unable to. It might be a manual, but could also be an automatic.

It is still a bit unclear what is going on here, when you say it seems to work, do you mean the clutch disengages? Can you change gears OK with the engine running and the clutch depressed? When you say it does not engage the plate, do you mean the vehicle does not move? To change gears it must DISengage the plate, not the other way round. Sorry if I seem picky, but I'm trying to get it all straight. If you can change gears OK with the engine running and the clutch depressed, but the vehicle does not move when you let the clutch pedal up, then the clutch is possibly worn out and needs replacing. If the opposite and you cannot get it into gear with the clutch depressed, then the clutch throwout fork has possibly broken, which is not uncommon. Alternatively but less likely is that there is so much air in the clutch hydraulic line that it has become ineffective. .

Did you do any testing, to see if your missing fuel--spark--injector pulse, whatever. I can only help with testing, but, you have to do the testing. Any applicable trouble codes?

you can buy a chiltons manual at the local auto parts store specific to your vehicle and it will have that in it.

Does your truck have duel tanks ?

Re-check battery terminals for clean/tighteness. sounds like your losing a contact there. Smoking from where? if its at the battery posts,there is your problem

The washer pump should be in the resivoir bottle...remove the plug on the bottom of the resivior and check it for power when the washer button ie pushed... if you have power, then you should replave the washer motor...

most likely the blower motor! but could be the blower motor resistor! does it work on high setting? if so it is the blower resistor if not most likely the blower itself!

Is it carved or efi??If efi do this::locate your throttle body,pull the air intake hose loose from the throttle body,spray starting fluid or carb cleaner into the throttle body opening, push the hose back onto the throttle body then try to start the car.If it starts & runs for a few seconds then dies,you've got a No Fuel problem.If it doesn't start at all,you've got a No Spark problem.If its a no fuel issue,turn the key on & listen for the fuel pump priming sound.If you don't hear it,check for a blown fuel pump fuse,defective fuel pump relay,a defective computer power relay or a tripped inertia switch.If they're OK,disconnect the harness at the fuel pump,turn the key on and use a voltmeter to test for battery voltage.If voltage is present,the pump is bad.If voltage isn't present,but its present at the fuel pump relay harness, there's most likely a short/open in the wiring harness between the FP relay & pump.You didn't list your vehicle info,so I'm unsure of which type ignition you've got.
Most no starts on a new engine are caused by a ground wire you forgot to connect,wiring harness not plugged in or a timing issue.
