Too bad it's gonna go on a doodge. Hoping it works too. Read some reviews and they weren't the greatest in reception.
whenever you shorten any antenna on the frequency it is nent for, you will lose power.. i use the Sirius/xm radio so that antenna is more for looks and no more whipping in the wind.

I understand the principle as to why some stations may not work with it.

What was that remote starter you bought a while back. Iirc it was fairly cheap but worked pretty well. Looking to get that to put on my mothers Chevy Equinox as her gift.

No, have a few guys that work with us who used to contract and still pay their dues. But I have been with municipality since I started line work 9 years ago.
Have ran rotella 1540, delvac and delo 1540 but this delo 540 makes the truck idle so much nicer and easier starts when cold. Of course it doesn't get too cold here but still a major difference.

oh, right on man!


stick with either of the delo options. and what is cold to you? i ran delo 15/40 in -27° weather and started without being plugged in. wasnt happy. but even some synthetics i used wouldn't allow it to start without being jumped..
