My truck was manufactured in June of 04, how do I know if it needs the new radio or not. I read the TSB and the Vin numbers but not sure my vin has a B in it and not and A.

Thanks

Anyone with an exchanged radio experiencing any other problems?  There are rumors the new exchanged radios are not better quality, and the reception on the radio is possibly worse.  I'm still waiting for my new deck...does anyone have any input on this issue?

Hi,

I am on my second replacement radio and I still have the fade issue. Granted its not as bad but it is still deffinetly there. I have thrown in the towel on the radio issue. The whole radio replacement had turned into a giant mess, long story short the fall-out from having the radio replaced ended up with the dealer having to replace my whole dash board ( yes you heard right ) because one of the techs hacked it up while trying to replace the radio..

Good luck

I think it is easy to tell if you have the treble fade problem.  Just tune to FM, turn the treble all the way up and drive around.  Mine always faded in 2 specific areas of my daily commute, no matter what station, and I noticed it when I drove it home on that first night.  I took it back to the dealer the next day (in April) and the dealer thought it was the NAV system interfering.  Of course, there was no service bulletin at that time. 

Thanks to this forum I will try to get a replacement.  I do have the Rockford Fosgate.

UPDATE:

Had mine replaced. It works a lot better. I had no problem with the installation. So far my dealer has taken real good care of me. They have called me twice since the replacement to ask how everything is going. I wonder if they know that some radio replacements still don't work?
Anyways, I'm happy!
