Rooney77, I have been adjusting the tip of the firestick. It does adjust the Swr match where channels 1,20 and 40 even out match wise, but not below 3:1.
The antenna mount is aluminum rather than stainless steel. As I mentioned before, I will see if I can find a hood mount, new antenna and coax at a truck stop on the trip this Saturday. I will bring my drill, screws and coax lugs.
I've had some success in the past, when using aluminum mounts, grounding the antenna to the frame. Could be something to try and it's cheap to do.
