I have a NMO mounted Larsen dual band antenna mounted on the right side lip of the hood.
If you are planning to go HF, plan to put up with a lot of RFI. I have tried all sorts of chokes and have everything bonded and I still get the injector noise. Ford is of zero help on the issue. A friend has his FT857D (same radio I use) on his 2012 3500 Duramax and no noise problems. He is using a larger Tarheel antenna than I have.
SO my advice to a HF radio operator, is to not buy a FOrd until they get their injectors properly shielded.
