| You can use some old coax to run from the frame to the bracket. Just strip back, and use both conductors of the coax. |

| Did you ever figure this out yet? I've got an 04 myself and I can't figure it out for the love of Jesus. You'll get no better a ground than what I go going on. Anybody know how to fix these trucks so you can mount the antenna on the mirror brackets? |

 I was in a Western Star that was a bi-ch to get working good. Actually i never got it "good", but got it working better. I ran short ground straps as recommended and finally got SWR's alittle under 1.3, not great, but not bad? I am currently in a 900B and radio tuned very easily. Mirrors are mounted directly to cab and i believe that is a big help. Ground is just as important as power going out. |
