    Nothing visible but me and Alex are no gear experts either. I mean there were no teeth missing but the fluid was a very grey metallic color and there was a decent amount of shavings on the plug

    Yea something wasn't right. It was only on decel that you could hear it. I put the truck on jack stand and took a video of the sound before I changed the third. I'll upload that later once I'm on a computer.

    Thanks! Mine didn't survive the fender removal very well. Guess I'll look around the audio threads and see if I can figure out a decent aftermarket option.

    A few people have used this:

    http://www.crutchfield.com/S-MHcmNF...-Antenna.html?tab=review#customer-reviews-tab

    I bought one and never used it since we were able to make my stock work. Let me dig it up in the garage and I will beat the Crutchfield price.
