Are you running the speakers from just the radio or did you install an amp to power the speakers?

Your truck could have a factory amp. If it does you need to use the amp turn on wire (blue/white). The best way to check is take a 9V batt and put some leads on it and touch it to the positive wire (white) and negative wire (white/with black stripe) of a speaker. Just tap it. If you hear a pop that means you dont have a factory amp. If you dont hear a pop that means you do have a factory amp. If it does have a factory amp i will look up the amp turn on wire for the truck and let you know what color it is.

Then you should have sound. One of the speakers could be grounded out or blown. The cd player wont play if this happens. Its a safety thing so it doesnt burn up the cd player. If you have a meter that reads ohms check and make sure all the speakers are around 4 ohms. The other way to check is hook up one speaker at a time. See if one plays

Yeah its gotta be the unit itself. Try hooking up another one just to test it. if you have one laying around.
