mcmahan Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 its pretty easy i think its just 3 screws holding the base on. it will be a simple swap imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcsilveradoss Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 its pretty easy i think its just 3 screws holding the base on. it will be a simple swap imo not this simple. if the threads broke off of the base, you will have to replace the base, which includes a length of cable coax that hooks together under the upper dash pad.

The_aSSet Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i think if u take ur radio out and reach ur arm back there u can follow the coax cable from the radio to the antenna assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 AllData rates that at 1 hour of labor to replace, figure 1-2 hours I would think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angels05ss Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Well guys it took me about an 1hr in a half to remove everything and putting it all back together.the hard part was routing the antenna wire from the outside to the inside....now I have awesome reception and busted up knuckles/hands.
