I'm trying to put in a aftermarket stereo but the clip from the truck was cut so it is just wires hanging there. I need to know which wire is which.

These are the diagrams for the base system and the premium unit. Easy way to tell which you have is if it has controls on the steering wheel for the premium system. If it has the premium unit you will need to remove the amplifier if it is still installed and use the speaker wire colors for it. That is because the OEM unit uses a signal on the data bus to tell it to turn on and off as well as have the speed adjusted volume functional.
