burnt, broken, melted, or charred components. Was the SWR calibrated when you were using it?

If you took the radio and installed it in your truck, then proceeded to use it without calibrating the system first, the radio is most likely toasted. Sorry.

you need to use a SWR meter like Shirley was talking about, or if yours is like mine it has a built in meter

If you don't calibrate it before using it, you'll blow the radio. You've just found that out first hand.
