I was wondering if anyone has come up with a solution to getting rid of the noise these trucks carry with the electronics? Whenever I have my phone plugged into the charger and playing thru the stereo, or my sat radio, there is a hiss.

 

I know there have been discussions about this issue before, just wondering if anyone has found a solution.

If you unplug the charger the noise stops? If so, try an different charger, sounds like yours is emitting "RFI" noise.

I haven't experienced this problem. I've used an inverter with a laptop playing movies and that didn't cause any noise either.

Am I understanding that you are using your phone to play Music through the stereo? If so what you have is called a ground loop. Do some searching on you favorite electronics site such as Amazon and you will find several products to solve the problem.

only some of my chargers make the whine in my 01 and my 03's dont whine at all. my blackberry charger and ac inverter dont make any whine but my ipod charger and girlfriends samsung charger emit a whine, very annoying.

Been there, tried that on my satellite receiver and it did nothing. oh well, hopefully the electrics on the new deck are good enough to combat this issue

I have noticed this with some chargers but I have also noticed it when playing a cd and the music goes really low I can hear the same whine thru the speakers.

doesn't matter what charger I use, I have tried multiple. Its a noise being emitted from the truck

 

Is the wire from the phone to the truck radio shielded? If not, you may be getting noise picked up by that cable.

you can hear it in the stereo even when its off when I put the directional on. When I hit the brake, or press the gas, its doesn't whine per-say but its a tone change. Its annoying, I listen to a lot of talk radio and all I here in the background is this thing...

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
