    That's hard to believe on a 6 3/4" length, is that the one you got?

    Yes, that’s the one. I was skeptical at first too, but I could pick up more distant stations, and the one with fuzzy reception come in clear now.

    I remove mine when I go to the car wash. The plan is to leave it off for a day so the hole dries. But then I usually just leave it off since I use the satellite radio app through the phone. On occasion, my niece will use up all 18 gigs of shared data before the end of the billing cycle so I gotta go back to radio and stick it back in. How the heck she manages to do it I can’t imagine. Anyhow, I was thinking of putting in a plain button head Allen bolt to keep water out.

    I did the 15 1/2" chop on the stock antenna. Was easy to do, looks better and reception is a little degraded but not too bad. Haven't taken it on any highway drives to really notice reception loss.

    The stock antenna is ridiculously long on these trucks.
