I have the 8.4 Uconnect radio in my 2018 2500, I took it out of a 2019 classic. I have had really good luck with AM reception on it as I listen to the football games in the fall.

OEM systems will have good AM reception as it uses you factory antenna. Any aftermarket unit should have basic AM reception but how good one is verse another I can not say. The OEM option is just a better idea for a 19 2500 for full integration into the vehicle.

If you can Bluetooth to your radio get your AM stations APP then Bluetooth very clear!
If you don't have radio with Bluetooth get a Bluetooth adapter on

Amazon.

Ahh, didn't realize there were different setups for your year model besides the auto/non-auto climate control. Is your truck an HD?? THIS one looks similar to your setup.
