Hello.

I have a couple cracks to weld on a truck frame.
I had a person mention a specific mig wire best for this.
I do not recall which wire he suggested.
I am going to use a shielding gas.
Suggestions on wire?
Thanks for you time!!! :D

The most common hard wire for this would be e70-s6. You can also consider using a dual-shield wire suck as m71. Jody's most recent video has good supporting arguments for it, and shows some settings that would be appropriate for the thicknesses you'll be welding...
Video is on this topic:

He gets into the dual-shield wire settings about half way through, so be patient.
