Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on getting the antenna installed. The new after market unit I got from LMC (same as others I would suspect) may all have this problem.
The existing hole from the factory (you can tell if it OEM factory because the hole has a slight notch) is designed for a slightly different antenna base. The one from the kit will need to have the rubber bushing/gasket glue in place to hold it while you tighten down. Also the lower mast brace is too short, I had to make a new one from a piece of flat bar aluminum. Picture 1 shows the original and the new heavier long brace. I was able to use the supplied speed washers and wrap-around. Picture 2 shows the hole you have to drill to mount the brace through. Picture 3 shows the new brace mounted. Picture 4 shows the assembly braced at bottom. Pictures 5 shows the size of the kit supplied vs. home made brace.
