Texas star/company vehicle

Depends who tuned the radio.
I ran a Texas Star DX 1000 and also a Texas Star DX 1600 V in a Kenworth T600 with no problems but other people have encountered issues because they had a different technician than I did.

 

It could cause problems, and then it may not. One things for sure, if you run some sort of snipped clipped coil spread radio that throws a dirty signal all over, an amp is only going to make it worse, and could have an effect on the truck.

 

I have seen it once where a fella had a home made 1000-2000 watt amp...Every time he keyed the amp with his mack on high idle all the gauges went nutz....Sence then i have been told by techs that big power(anything over 300-400 watts)will mess with qualcomm and trucks ecu..

 

I did run 1.2K with my Kw for years never ever had a single problems.

Amp was right behind passenger seat very short hot wire and seat base was my ground, cab grounded & ant grounded.

 

How did you ground your ant??

 

Been to much goin on in my personal life lately..Freakin cancer is back for the 3rd time i havent had time to do squat with my set up to get my #'s better on my ant side useing hard drives coax..
Wish one of you smarty pants fellers lived near me to show me some stuff..Not so much a book guy even though i have a cpl...Im the worse one to do trial and error then get mad as heck cause it doesnt work..Not doin myself any favors tryin to learn that way wha lol..Forces me to walk to other end of the driveway to the cooler for a wobbley pop and chill for a few min..

 

I ran a 667v only problem was tach and speedometer would get goofy also ran a 4 pill fatboy with no issues just run directly to battery with a inline fuse close to the battery you'll be fine.

 

Antenna to cab and cab to frame, never ever had an issue.
I like to keep ground strap as short as possible.

 

Funny..So many say it works and many say it doesnt....I have seen it as being called a ground loop (a problem)...
