I am currently trying to put a new cd player in my truck. I cut the wiring harness plug off and am directly wiring the wires to my cd player harness.  I have all the speaker wires and ground wire hooked up. That leaves me with two orange wires coming from my truck. On my cd player harness I have Battery, Accessory, Illumination, Mute and Remote wires. The only way I can even get the cd player to come on is to hook the Bat and Acc wires to the larger orange wire coming from my truck, but the problem is, my cd player will not turn off.  Can anyone help me?!

You need to grab the switched ignition wire from the fuse or the ignition harness and connect this to the RED wire on the CD player. The new Chevy's do not have a switched ignition source at the radio just data controlled.

Alright, ran a wire from my ignition fuse and the cd player works  correctly.  Now my truck will start and die imediately... I removed the wire from the ignition fuse thinking maybe it was the problem, no go. Anyone?

Sounds like you have now dead shorted a circuit in the vehicle. Time to either call a shop and see if they can come out to get you running or call the dealer and have it towed in to be repaired. No offence intended but you are a prime example of how trying to save a $ and installing it yourself can lead to huge $ to have the install repaired. In a newer vehicle where more and more functions are controlled by a single device, just tapping into a wire can have adverse effects on the vehicle itself. There is generally very little need to cut a harness these days with the adaptor plugs that are readily available. At this juncture in your installation, admit defeat and call a shop before you damage something like the ECM and end up paying out thousands of $ to have the vehicle repaired.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

I don't see how cutting the harness plug on a stereo will cause all of this dmg on the truck starting.  Splicing into the correct wire or hooking a plug into it has the same affect....

I wasn't going t mention anything about you cutting the plug since you had the system going, but as I said before the radio is databus controlled and system functions go through the radio and can cause adverse affects on the truck. The truck not starting I have not heard before, but since it is an '06 I have not had any experience with this truck as far as removing the stereo with out the proper interface module.
When the truck doesn't start, does the Passlock padlock light on the dash stay on solid or does it flash ?
