    I know this sounds ridiculous, but please bear with me…

    I had my truck into the shop yesterday for a fuel pump recall and state inspection. After leaving, the FM radio reception is markedly worse - the HD stations are bouncing between analog and digital, and stations I previously got in crystal clear are barely intelligible. I can’t think of any reason at all the work should have affected the radio antenna connections - perhaps they didn’t reconnect a ground? Does a fuel pump replacement require pulling the dash? Some other gremlin? Am I just insane?

    Likely another gremlin.

    Start by checking the antenna connections.

    BTW, I'm not qualified to determine your sanity.
