Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Antennas

Theres nothing quite like the feeling of hitting the open road in your Chevy truck, windows cranked down and radio cranked up. Making sure you can access all of your stations, whether you simply have an AM/FM receiver or your model Silverado is equipped with satellite radio, requires a top-notch antenna. With a wide variety of antenna types on the market that offer an array of features, understanding what will suit your needs and work with the audio systems in your Chevrolet Silverado pickup is an important step.

Exterior antennas for the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD come in three main configurations, including:

• Retractable. This type of antenna has a sleek design in that the antenna can be extended or retracted by a button. The telescoping design of the parts that collapse together or extend outward allow for the antenna to be safely stowed when not in use or when there is not enough clearance for the antenna.
• Whip. This is the most common type of exterior antenna found on Chevrolet Silverado pickups and most likely the type of antenna most individuals are familiar with when thinking of auto antennas. Featuring a long, thin piece of metal as the design, it is mounted to the exterior of the truck or car.
• Satellite. With the advent of satellite radio, this antenna is designed to capture satellite transmissions and is often a factory option for Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD trucks. Designs include shark fins, found on the roof of Chevrolet Silverados, or stubbys, located on the side of the hood.

A shark fin roof antenna can be easily installed to your Silverado with a few steps. It should be noted that given the use of an adhesive for attaching the antenna to the roof of your Chevrolet, you should try to install it during optimal weather conditions, including temperature and humidity. This will allow the adhesive to properly cure on your vehicle. Heres how to install your Chevrolet Silverado 2500 shark fin antenna:

• Locate the wire and bolt it to the appropriate spot.
• Using a cleaning solution formulated for automotive exteriors, thoroughly clean and dry the area where the antenna will be placed.
• Peel the adhesive backing from the antenna.
