Hi there. I would need to know what kind of truck this is before I could give you and actual information about the issue. From my experience with problems like this it is usually caused by a faulty radio amplifier. Most newer vehicles have amplifiers that send the sound to the speakers and this occurs when the amplifier stops working properly. I usually recommend taking the vehicle to a stereo shop to repair this issue.
