That would explain why some places I looked at trucks they were ALL like that and others were all done correctly.

Its even more scary when you realize that the 6.4's use the same cowl and antenna boot. Which I think the first ones rolled into dealerships in late 06? Early 07? I'm not sure if the 6.0's or 7.3's had it.

2012 build date 8/12 = Installed correctly

You're right it's all about the dealership. Usually starts with the owner or manager. Anybody's that was not installed correctly should let their dealer know so they can correct the process and help the next guy out.

You sure think there'd be a checklist...Mine was not installed, the antenna itself was loose. So were a good deal of my lugnuts!

I might have to go "Shop" for a new SD. Toy with the salesman, find a SD with the antenna boot not installed correctly and walkout after I shockingly find out that it's not.

They do have a checklist. They just pre fill them out.just put in different vin. I had one guy in our shop. I nicknamed him hubcap. Because at that time all he would do is knock on hubcap or wheel centers. He was done.

So is this the proper installation of the boot? It was on top before I changed it and took the picture.

Yes Doc that is correct. I took mine and squeezed one corner of the boot and worked it in the hole. Then rotated the boot clockwise. It was a tight fit but it did go in.

I put it on and pushed it under that Peice and walla alot of windnoise is gone. And it was bad windy 2 day.


I just noticed this on my 2016, so you can just "stuff" it into the hole or does the entire plastic piece need to come off?
