    Truck Antennas

    I have an 05 GMC Sierra that get's bad radio reception.
    Even after upgrading equipment, new HD Radio\CD unit I have the same issue.
    I'm still running the stock antenna.
    I'd like better reception, but will upgrading the antenna alone help much?
    Thinking on getting a better set-up also for a 2 way for road trips.
    Help a brother out!

      Uh - there is a FM/AM antenna on the passenger side fender, right?

      I have the AM/FM/XM 6 CD changer with Bose sound system in my 04 Chevy Silverado. I do have On star but it is not activated. I am pretty electronic savvy but this thing has me baffled. The AM and FM channels are all weak, static, barely understandable. I had XM service for a couple of weeks...

              Well, I've had Chevy antennas go bad in the past due to water intrusion/corrosion. Your truck is 11 years old so maybe check for loose/corroded connections or just replace the antenna. None of those suggestions are usually very easy to accomplish.

                      I believe OP has an AM/FM issue.
