Bringing back an old thread with a complete different set up. Same vehicle. Same results. Running a Stryker 955 now, with a Wilson 5000 roof top hard mount in the roof. (04 GMC regular cab Sierra 4x4). Sanded the inside of cab portion of roof where the hard mount attaches. Everything is RG8X...
Great antenna. Only problem is they don’t like Oklahoma wind. I came home from work one day and mine was broken at the lower shaft. Coax was all twisted up and damaged before I could get it down. Sad day
Update: Everything is back installed and up and running. SWR readings when it’s on is staying low, which I know isn’t a true swr reading rather then showing some reflect right? Anyhow, I hammered for about 15 min to some locals about 7 miles and 25 miles away and they said I jump about 2s...

Today is the day to drill. Does anyone know if the roof of a 04 GMC Sierra regular cab is double skinned? If it is then that may cause quite a bit of problems.
Awesome. Thanks for all the input. No, I won’t be having a drink before hand haha. But I will post results afterward and see if everything is happy afterwards.
Thanks for all the replies folks. Sorry it’s been a couple days to reply. Still fighting this flu bug. Anyhow, before I had ever posted anything I was checking the amp with various levels of VP DK. Up to around 4-5 watts and as low as it would go at around a half a watt or so. Nothing really...
