I just take it as knowledge my grandfather taught me about working on antique tractors, when it's all very rusted you have to be patient, if it won't come out today, spray and try again tomorrow...amazing that it works so well as long as your patient about it.

Nope but I found my culprit I think....is it possible that those radios are grounded thru the antenna cable? I was trying to see if it was connected antenna side and found it dangling in the fender....

I don't think so..... but, not like I haven't been wrong before.

If it works better with the antenna connected up, just smile and nod. And accept it.

That's the Chrysler prayer. Don't question, smile, nod and be happy it worked.

Merry X-Mas y'all!!

I hate to be that guy, but it seems the radio IS grounded thru the antennae!! Stripped the wire and tested it against the fender, and yarr she blows loll!

So now since my antenna broke, I got the ground on a fender fastener, and use the whole truck as antenna!! I get stations I never gotten before LMAO!!!
