Yikes! I'm seeing way too many of this kind of thread lately. Usually when that happens I suffer the same failure (water pump and front driveshaft are good examples.)
For the AM/FM break, try a junkyard- I bet they'll have a Libby hulk you could take the antenna from.
Good luck mounting a CB antenna where you can't see it.
I like the look of my CB antenna (mounted on the back gate near the spare tire carrier.)
Yes, not to mention it takes about 15 minutes to empty a 5 gallon Jerry can with the dribble spout.
I found some good metal cans at Harbor Freight. I got home and discovered that they have no cap other than the spout! WTF? Other than that, the cans are great and exactly what I was looking...

The odd thing is the CEL went out on its own after a few days, although I...
