The main power fuse is under the hood inside of the main PDC. here is a guide to help check it and the location of the 100-amp main fuse in the images below:

I found the fuse and changed it, but that didn't fix my problem. The whole problem started when a friend of mine decided to put a radio in the truck for me. One of the wires to the radio he had touched to the antenna by mistake, and it's shorted out the whole truck. Any ideas on what I can do to fix it? It won't even turn over.

It sounds like one of the fuses for the BCM is out, I would turn the systems on and use a test light to check the fuses, here is a guide and the fuse location as well:

If the fuses are all good it sounds like the BCM got shorted out but to be sure we should do a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

here is a video to show you how:

Here is one for about $99.00 if you need it:

You can get a preprogrammed BCM by searching Google or Ebay. Here is how to replace the BCM in case a code comes up for it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
