Code P0722 is an output shaft sensor code for the transmission. While that may be an indication of an issue, it would not cause the truck to just quit. A catastrophic failure of the fuel pump, ignition system, or engine computer can cause a truck to shut down immediately and without warning, so these are the items that need to be checked first.
You may want to enlist the help of a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who has the tools and expertise to safely diagnose issues in the starting system, and recommend the best path of repair.
