    Sorry, Built in Am/Fm radio. Truck just obtained today, driving, turn on radio, will come on then switch right off. I'm relaying information for my boyfriend Jeff, he is driving as I write. I don't have the luxury of a radio, I drive a fuel oil truck, too much in and out to listen anyway! :)

    Does the radio stay on when he's parked? If so then refer to my previous reply

    If he has the information package that comes with the truck it should have the manual for the radio. Most manuals also come with the radio removal tools. They are just two "U" shaped tools to release the radio from the holder. If you have those tools you install them into the 4 holes, (two on each side) and remove the radio. The connector at the back of the radio may not be fully connected and/or the radio wire harness is pinched between the back of the radio and rear radio support bracket.
