2000 F250 V-10 getting static on am stations when the engine is running.
I replaced cab-to-frame ground strip, no corrosion on the base of the
antenna post.
a V-10 has 2 static suppressors (compasitors ?) each mounted on the top
front of each valve cover replacement cost - $25 each - I have not
replaced these
anyone got any ideas ? |

AM or FM reception ?
Is this a factory or aftermarket radio.
Static gets into a radio via the inputs and outputs of the radio as well as
if the radio is not healthy internally.
That means antenna mount and lead, power leads into the radio, speaker
leads, and grounds.
Failure of shielding or other noise reducing circuits causes problems around
noise sources
I'd start with making sure the antenna is in good shape, if a fixed external
fender mount model look for crud where the antenna screws into the fender
mount.
Get a walkman type radio, with the vehicle running and the walkman tuned to
the stations with problems, carefully and safely wave the radio around the
engine bay and other areas until you find the source of the noise..
Becareful of moving parts. headphone wires don't like drive belts, etc.

Replace the alternator. Brushes are wearing out.

115,000 miles on original alternator. alternator seems to be generating
power - no indication otherwise. don't make me spend the $$ on replacing
a working alternator unless this is positively the cause of the static. >> Stay informed about: radio static |
