    So I jumped into my taco after work and noticed my radio wasn’t putting out any sound, random popping then followed by some static sounds. Thought maybe one of the speakers were blown. Shut the truck off and restarted it, got some luck. Sound on the driver side was coming in distorted as hell. I slapped the top of the dash like an old school box tv then I got some on both sides. Still distorted as hale. Anyone have this issues or ideas on what’s going on there

    Usually just the radio. Podcasting, crank it up time to time. It’s strange now the driver and rear pass are working. Don’t sound good tho

    intermittent audio coming out of different speakers. If it's not loose wiring somewhere, possibly the wiring harness, then maybe it's some bad processing in the head unit itself? It's just a thought.
    Have you tried different sources, like an MP3 player wired and/or bluetooth or a CD to recreate the same problem?
