77Conours's 2003 Duramax ECSB Build Thread

[95C1500]

Ordered my coax cable, antenna mount, and an SWR meter from RightChannelRadios tonight. Should be here by the end of the week, might have to get my radio retuned but that's no big deal. Pretty excited to have a CB in my truck again!

Can't wait to see it. I still need to order all of my stuff

Here's what I went with:

Mount:

Coax Cable:

I like the cable because it looks like it will be easy to route along the frame and through the firewall.

Thanks for the links! Can you post pictures of the mount and the entire truck (obviously) once it's done?

Sure, the entire thing won't be complete until possibly next week. I might have my dad help me mount everything on the toolbox this weekend if its not too cold. High of 30* this weekend....

Had a slow day at work so I got to park my truck inside where it was in the mid sixties. I also got a chance to fix my broken block heater cord and installed the new one. Ran it up into the front bumper so I won't always have to open and close the hood everynight and morning. Just in time, it snowed 3" here yesterday and we had a -15* wind chill today. I'm ready for summer.

I always thought that was the dumbest design.

I never really minded it but this is a lot nicer to be honest. I love owning a diesel truck but during the winter it sucks.

Its not so much the starting part. Its just making sure you putt additive in, plugging it in, not having heat as fast. The power certainly makes up for that.
