CB noise in ford ranger
Hello All:
Yeah Scott is right here. In my Ford Truck I connected the Battery Ground to the fender, then ran a braid wire to the firewall, and then to the Hood. That made a big difference, in reducing RF Hash Noises from the Ignition System. Jay in the Mojave Scott in Baltimore wrote: And connect the chassis to the frame to the battery... Those ground straps and their connections go bad! Any sideband radio has better filters then an AM only radio. |

Hello TE:
I don't think Mr. Faraday had anything to do with it. Is that guy on channel 12, and goes by Fright Hauler? Has a Cobra 148 and Texas Star 500, and has duel whip antennas?!?!?! Well anyway grounding the fender, firewall, and hood was a significant improvement in reducing the ignition noise. I also ran new shielded wiring for the Ignition Modular, and that didn't help as much. Oh yeah I also added on copper tape (from the TRW Swap Meet) applied a 1/2 inch width of the copper tape every 3 to 4 inches on the center distributor wire, this was also a big help. I have a Motorola Radio in the Truck, and its has a really neat noise canceling circuit in it. And another noise reduction idea, would be a Clear Speech External Speaker with DSP Noise Reduction. Yeahs its 200 dollars, but if ya want to play ya gotto pay. I know guys fight the noise coming from a noise fuel pump in the plastic gas tank. I would wrap the plastic tank with wire, and add in a power lead filter. Jay in the Great Mojave Desert, ....just down the road ah ways from the fillin station.

Then you won't have to deal with the bass-ackwards electrical system, the characteristic cancer above the fender wells, rebuilding the CV joints on the dual I-beams (a major PITA), or that annoying and mysterious 'clunk' that sometimes appears after 100k or so. |

JMO now, but sounds like u have a bad ground on your system... This will cause all sorts of AC noise in the electrical sys.. Try grounding your ant bracket, especially if its mounted on the chrome tool boxes.. It not the alluiminum thats the problem its the chrome plating.. You have to run a ground , Directly from the bracket to Ground on bed etc... Hope this was helpful... Good Dx'n GooRu |

Yea, Thank you for the article on the noise problems. As well as the
opinions. I know from having both a S-10 a long time ago and owning a Ranger now that the Ford is way worse on noise. The needle was running on the quiet side of no less than a 5 ever. Now I have it down to 2 threw 2.5 when it's all quiet. Soon as this weather decides what its going to do here in WV I'm going to try to get things done to quiet it down further. I appreciate it. TY |
