I work on my radio setup all the time. I drilled the aluminum mirror mount to fit the holes at the top of the passenger door on my 2013 Cascadia midroof. Ran a heavy ground to the grab handle on the windshield pillar. Grounded my peaked and tuned 29 and in line meter running 18 feet of Wilson super mini 8 to a top loaded Wilson Flex 4 antenna. Antenna height is 12'10" standing straight up and SWR is dead flat across the band after tuning. I get "loud and clear" radio checks from 5 to 8 miles out consistently.

For those of you running on the factory antennas, do NOT run above stock power levels! There is a splitter in the line that also feeds the stereo. This splitter can't handle high power. It'll burn out, and you'll have the problem that the OP has.
FYI, stock power is fine for talking to the guard shack at the shipper/receiver, or finding out what lane is open at the accident, which is all that about 99% of drivers use a CB for.25(2)+2 Thanks this. -

You must have a fast truck. My Francis 5.5 did fine for several months with no support, ended up giving it to another of our drivers who needed an antenna sometime after I got the Monkey-Made.

The 6' Skipshooter blows around a lot on my truck, especially at 70-72. Guess time will tell, especially when winter rolls in.

That flopping around is an easy fix.
