Poor AM Radio Reception = Bad ICP?

I know this sounds crazy (I've been called worse) but my AM reception has been horrible that last few months- Static seemed to "cycle" through about 10-12 second increments and it got progressively worse. I know, who cares about AM radio (except utahtom) but hey, I really enjoy listening to Jim Rome and a few other shows while I drive around. I thought it was related to the fact that I am usually 50 miles from Salt Lake City and the reception always got better as I drove closer to the city-

Earlier this week, my truck was surging at idle when I was close by the Dealer- The Tech (who was great!) promptly determined the ICP was bad and replaced it. Ironically, now my AM radio reception is crystal clear
Stranger things could happen...

if u have the lighted mirrors, the passenger side leds interfere with the am radio when the lights are on. ford will fix it if u have that problem and want it fixed, but they wont mention it unless u have a complaint....... just a little side thought
