The common thing would be to check the fuse in your truck. It is probably a 10A fuse, I'm certain someone will shed some insight on which fuse number it is. There are some important questions though. Did the sound cut out during your ownership? And is there any illumination coming from the display on your headunit? Since you say you have aftermarket headunits, are the fuses in those still good? And is the wiring done properly from the radio harness to the vehicle harness?

Head unit works fine. Sound cut off about 2 days ago. It is hooked up to the factory harness with proper plugs. Thanks again

That is quite surprising! Something I would do would be to test the speakers. If you don't have a continuity tester of some sort, then you can get some wires connected to a AA battery and *tap* it to the leads of the speaker to see if you can hear a "click". If that tests fine, then reconnect the speakers to the wires in the doors, then test continuity at the dash on the truck side of the harness for each speaker. If that tests okay then check to make sure all the wires are still making contact from the truck harness and the radio harness. If the radios still work but there's no audio, you might want to try a totally different radio.
