Is the truck not starting? Or is just the radio not starting up?
I'd say check the ground, fuses, make sure your wiring is correct, etc.
Did you use an adapter harness?? When I did the head unit on my '03 Powerstroke, I (vaguely) remember that some of the coloring on the wires were sketchy... just double check all of it and make sure they're matched up correctly.
Disconnect the battery just to be safe when you're doing audio stuff, or anything electrical for that matter.
