I know you all have an opinion on most things having been on the fringe of
this group for years (not one of the regulars). So I need some advice.  I
just bought an 03 3500 Diesel.  AM Radio comes in like crap.  checked the
antenna connection, took the radio out, (its one of the stock ones that
displays the station and what is playing)  It all looks ok but I can not
listen to WABC in the NY metro area, which came in fine in my Durango and my
wife's 300.  so any suggestions?  or ball breaking?
Thanks
Andy

Get a new radio.
My own and I have heard from some others that this is a common occurance.

YOu could try installing a power filter choke in the power lead
feeding the radio. Sometimes the noise comes up the power leg and when
in the AM mode it is more sensitive to this type of interference.

Or adjusting the antenna trimmer.

Could not find the instructions for a Dodge, but this willl help.

This could improve signal to noise ratio if it is out of adjustemnt
but it will not remove noise source.

AM is very big in the talk/news genre.

True, that's all it's good for (brainwashing programs).

As long as Air America is broadcasting, I have to agree. ;+)
