    Staying with stock also. My last truck had a simulated fishing pole that I picked up at a marina in Idaho, but truck got totaled, and did not think of recovering it as it went off to the grave yard.

    I like the way the stock one works and looks, plus I also like to use it for a feeler gauge.

    Hahah, don't even have one! Someone ripped it off before I bought the truck, I guess. I haven't had the truck long, and there's more important things that it needs before I worry about an antenna.

    Docs,

    How do you like that antenna? I did a search and one member said it doesn't sit flush with the antenna mounting base.

    At $16 it's not a deal-breaker, but just want your thoughts on it overall.

    You're right, it doesn't sit flush, but the antenna comes with an "adapter" and you can't even tell!

    As for reception, I listen to XM, so can't comment on reception. However, I read you shouldn't go shorter than 13" to avoid losing your radio signal.
