    The end broke off of the coax for the TV and i was just going to replace the coax, rather than try and get a new end put on. Does anyone know how/where the coax runs through the cab, i figured out that I can get to part of it by taking the speaker out of the passenger side, but after that i can't figure out where it goes to... looks like it goes up and toward the middle of the cab. Not quite sure where/how to get at things from there. Any input is appreciated

    A lot easier to replace the end of the cable I belive it runs to the overhead console where the cb cables come into the disturbition block you can go to home depot and get the tools and end for 20 bucks or so just my .02

    If you decide to replace it rather than install a new end you can tape the new coax to the old coax and pull it through without all the tearing things apart.

    that won't work, the coax is taped down through the channel going though the cab.
