579 Peterbilt CB coax installation.

Its 2019 579. The cb was treble. Changing antennas did not help also comes from the factory with two antennas with the coax splice together at the CV hole it's very crude so I installed a bird perch on a driver mirror installed a skip shooter ran the coax through the door of the b-pillar of the windshield I come around to the visor up to the air horn hole and then fished it over to the cb hole by means of the CB speaker hole. By pushing up air horn pull tail with a zip tie to pull it back down after installation of new coax

 

This 579 pete came pre wired an with 2 antennas it was junk. Couldn't hear not sure if i could talk. Problem with CAL. To high SWR. Treble. Ran better coax with the skip shooter i also have a cobra( parts everywhere) turn down to 2 or 4 watts run a heater about 120 watts i can hear an talk. As with the pete i do pick up noise from power hook up. These so kind of tracker plugged into it. Got figure a clean power to help with reducing the noise.

 

Think im going to find a clean look way to run a ground to the antenna. Same set up different antenna different truck i was talk eazy 10 miles an far the ones able to talk to me 15 to mile depending on location. But nothing fancy.

 

Exactly tear out a lot of interior hope you don't break plastic clips. install. Put back together is a all day job. Unfortunately my install i did have all the necessary tools or the time. My install after figured it out was able to do it on a 30 min break. Its not bad looking. I did consult few CB shops which they do not do installs with concerns of interior breaking. Now days everything plastic an clips thanks for sharing i hope your reply helps someone.
