what do you mean by hear it? Do you hear a hum or actual stations? Is the sound coming from all the speakers or only the rear ones? Did the vehicle come with the OEM premium system? If your answer is yes and sound is coming from rear, the mostly cause would be the stock amp is being powered when the ignition is off. At the headunit there is either a light GREEN/ red or BROWN / black for remote turn on. Make sure this wire is not powered when the vehicle is off. If not additional troubleshooting is required.
Which fuse are you pulling? The headunit is fuse 20 and the amp is fuse 1.

I think the solution to your problem could be to figure out if that vehicle has a factory amplifier... find it... and disable it. There is no way that three radios could have the exact same problem. That would have thrown up a red flag for me after the first radio swap. There is a gremlin in that truck somewhere and from what you described there is a good chance its the factory amp. Disabling it might involve running new wire from the headunit to whatever speakers that this amp was powering. Good luck!

The answer was there the whole time 
You will need to run new wires from the radio to the speakers. The location of a factory amp does not matter at this point. ------------- To master and control electricity is perfection. *evil laugh*

You will have the speakers out by the way, and if you can not find a diagram follow the battery test described in post #12 by forbidden here:
