If I understand, you are saying that you have the positive power wire going from the radio to the battery, and the radios ground wire going to the trucks chassis? If this is so, you may be dealing with common mode problem, maybe due to an RF ground loop. You need to run the radios ground wire to the battery too. Don't forget to put fuses on both wires close to the battery terminals for safety. -

Well after a little more web surfing, I came across this link by cb radio magazine.
Power wire hookup - battery or cigarette plug | CB Radio Magazine
They are suggesting running the power and ground wires to both battery terminals, as one method to power the radio. Now they don't exactly come out and say to fuse the ground wire, but they do mention putting fuses (plural) close to the battery terminals.
Unfortunately instead of helping the OP solve his problem, I maybe complicating things.
