Probably would not come down to that if one is careful.
But It would make a person angry to find out after spending hours to undo the dashboard to look at the receiver connection while the problem is somewhere else like the fender whip is missing.

Thanks for the advice/instructions. I took the dash apart and found the antenna connection into the metal box, this is the most convoluted radio setup I've ever seen, 3 different components. The connection was fine. I went under the hood and found a connection between the wire coming from the mast to the radio. That connection was old and somewhat corroded. I cleaned it up, connected it back and it now works fine. The dash is back in one piece also. Thanks for the help.

Your current headunit is cheap Delco stuff. If you want to play bootleg CDs get a Kenwood.

I have an '03 2500HD, I have 2 kicker comps under my seat with a downfire box, and a memphis audio amp. I have it hooked up to my factory stereo, if you go to get it installed and they say you HAVE to have an aftermarket head unit, they are lying. I had mine installed by some guys i know at the shop and they used a 'PAC' system. It is a little module that adapts your factory headunit to utilize the hookup from the amp.
I would go with the JL's. It sounds good, and my subs are rated at 2 ohms, and the amp helps them to hit the lows. I mainly listen to rock and country and if i do listen to rap, the 10's (at least mine) won't get the low low's, but it does okay. Going with the JL's to me seem like the better setup, but I am no expert my anymeans. I just know for a fact you do not have to buy an aftermarket headunit, just the little PAC system. You can get them at any car audio place and should only cost around $20. At least that's what I paid. Hope this helps. -Trey

JL Audio ownz. One of the main reasons for going aftermarket is to improve on stock sounds. Why would you want to retain the stock headunit when upgrading everything else? It's like buying a new golf set yet using those 12 year old balata balls. Just makes no sense in terms of flexibility, sound reproduction and control.

i live in new orleans, and this guy eric that wprks at Mobie One, the big time of audio install around here, is supposed to be one f the only certain certification guys in the state and he told he recommends the new fosgate subs and amps. he says they pull way less power of battery and alt. he just did my best friends 06 vette and its all custom and bad ass looking. i dont want one of those huge alpine or pioneer giant stereos that pop out then up deal. i like my truck stock looking and everything hidden. Thats why i opt for the stock head unit. Also i just installed a EGR bug shield. Not crazy about it. It doesnt wrap around the whole front cap and its way too short to cover the whole top of hood. Any of you guys have the AVS for 2007 new body style? does it cover more? thx for the input too.

i put a aftermarket in my 04 gmc in 10 minutes getting a harnes adaptor will make it painless and screw the door chimes dont need them anyway but one thing you might want to take note of is the factory wiring harness doesnt have a ignition wire ssince the computer onboard has the antitheft for the factory stereo you will have to run a igntion wire to the fuse box to get it to come on with the key that is the only option unless you want it to stay on all the time and have to be shut off manually but other then that it should be painless to install any questions or hints hit me back
