alright i did the 'antenna shave' mod that has been posted on here and it looked great and it seemed to work alright (little bit of loss of reception) last night.

 

i start my truck up this morning and as i am driving to work, my radio keeps cutting out, i am losing signal, and the power keeps cutting out to the radio and it turns off (no clock or anything totally dead) i hit the power button a few times and it will come back on.

 

ok well i am worried so at work i totally undo the antenna wiring and put it back just like it was stock and everything.. screw it down tight and my radio is STILL cutting out.. it is only when the truck is on and i dont think it has anything to do with the antenna shaving (which probably set it off)

 

does anyone have any ideas?

 

sometimes it will just snap on and off and reset the station and sometimes it will lose reception real quick and then sometimes it will be out for a few minutes until i hit the power button back on.

 

please help!

 

i can take video of it if needed.. but i think i described the problem well enough. if this is in the wrong forum, please let me know.

it's a lot louder than i wanted it to be and it kinda whistles almost with the split-tip, but it sounds real good at low rpm and idle.. as long as i dont get on it too much.

 

my RC leveling kit just came in so i'm prob gonna try to get that installed/alignment either tomorrow or friday (going hunting friday)

 

i am also in the market for an intake.. any suggestions? really looking for the best value.. might just drop in a k&n filter, but i am considering an entire FIPK system or something.. i found 'em for $225 free shipping online.. unless y'all got a better one or if i could make one myself or something.

 

thanks see y'all.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
