Just bought a 2019 1500 AT4 and pretty happy with it. Only problem so.far is the extra 2" is causing the antenna to clip my garage door.

 

I see a bunch of options out there for replacements but has anyone done this quick mod and enjoy the look without losing reception?

 

Thanks.

There's a thread on this topic already.  I'm sure someone will chime in with a link. Most here use the KEYO1 including myself with great reception but there other good ones out there.

I think the stubbies look to small and silly on a big truck... I ordered an 8" I'll let you know once it's installed on performance and pictures.

Yeah, I'm still performance first then looks for this. I will just measure the stock one and get something small enough to fit under the garage but as big as I can get otherwise.

The stubby ones all seem to be hit and miss with reception.

I been thinking about this as well.  I seen somewhere on here that some were using a 13” and I thought it looked good.  Can’t find the thread with it again though lol.

I went with a 22", should arrive tomorrow. Should look stock'ish while being a bit shorter than the truck itself.

Will take pictures and post them.

I'm of the opposite opinion. I think a 6-8" replacement antenna looks goofy. Not tall, but not short. It looks confused. 

 

The 4" I have on my RST is barely noticeable, because the first 1.5" or so is absorbed by the molding that it sits into. 

 

The KEYO1E has zero performance issues, btw.

Agree.  The KEYO1E looks awesome and reception is great with the signal enhancement chip and copper coil/internals.  Couldn't be happier.  Gotten several compliments saying how cool it looks.

It’s sad they haven’t integrated the antenna into the rear panel like most new cars

Cost savings move

I assume the radio reception issue from the previous body style have been fixed?

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
