I'd say that he took it to Hi-Tech Electronics in Van Nuys, CA.  There, they found an internal PC board failure and replaced the board with a new one.

Wow what a Half Answer.   *PC Board*.  A Half Answer is NO ANSWER

Where in radio ? in truck someplace ?

Does it really matter?  The radio is from a truck at is more than 20 years old, it would be cheaper to just swap in another oem or even third party radio vs paying someone to take the radio apart, figure out what and where the problem is, fix/replace that part, then reassemble and reinstall.
