Peterbilt Multiplexer box and AM/FM bleeding into CB

I am running an 04 Pete 379. The problem is that whenever I turn on the AM/FM/CD player, it bleeds over into my CB. The Needle jumps around with the music and causes receive problems.

I have tried 3 different radios including off the shelf stock CBs and it does it with all of them.

I can turn the RF gain down abotu half way and the problem goes away but then my recieve goes to pot also.

If I hit the mute or pause on the radio then the problem goes away.


Now I talked with another one of our drivers and he said he had the same problem with his 03 379 but his newer one (07 or 0 does not do it.

Did Pete come out with a new multiplexer box to fix this problem?


I know I could just seperate the system and run new coax etc but it will be spring before I have the time and weather to do this. We are just starting our busy season here in North Dakota and I will be busting butt until freeze up and then it will be too cold to be working outside on the truck.
