It sounds like a problem with the stock amplifier, try swapping that out. I believe they are a Bose unit. Not sure where it's located but most commonly they are located under or near the stereo or somwhere near the trunk.

Wire harness to switch from stock stereo to cd player will not fit the wires that are supposed to? so what wires are the speaker wires

Not sure I understand your question. Did you buy a harness adapter for GMC, or are you trying to just cut the connector off the factory radio and solder it to your CD player? If the latter, below is the color code for your factory wiring.

Speakers cut out after running a while

I think that it may have a ground that is heating up, if the aftermarket cd player is grounded to a painted bolt this is what happens.
