    I had a 2019 Cascadia a few years ago at Swift. The internal antenna worked just fine for me as well.

    This is my 3rd Cascadia I've been in, yet to have 1 that picks up or transmits worth a politicians promise. Maybe it's time for me to avoid them since they don't like me?

    That sounds like a good plan! Lol. Who knows what goes on in the factories where they assemble these trucks. Quality control seems to be lacking everywhere these days. You would think if you pay $175,000.00 for a Semi Tractor, you would get the quality of a swiss watch, but......not so much.o_O

    But you ain’t driving Kenworths. I’d work great with Catherine Zeta Jones, but I got Big Maude instead. ;)

    So did you have to buy a new "radio", and did insurance cover that?

    The 29s sound good right from the factory and you can't beat the price. Run the same setup on the 99. Road king mic, external speaker and 4ft fire stick.

    The 93 has the same setup except with a Stryker 497. Sound quality is better but so is the price. Bout 2-3x the price
