haha, im sorry to laugh but i can only imagine how frustrating that is! that is a wierd one, i have been installing car audio for 14 years or so and that is a new one. if i were you i would try a couple things. first keep the antenna unpluged and see if that helps, try extending the power and ground wires and at least one speaker to get the radio away from the dash. it could be getting interference from the distributor which is pretty close to the radio in your truck. make sure that you have a good ground going from the batt to the body of the truck. also make sure the wires you ran to the batt are not run near the distributor at all. good luck and i would love to help more if i can!
