I think you have created a ground loop. The thing is, bonding is good but in 
bonding you can create resonate length wires and stuff if you bond too much. 

Worse come to worse, unbond everything and start over. Bond the doors and hook 
and check the bands. Then bond a bit more.

I suspect  if you bonded your exhaust and you are driving a big truck; that is 
long enough to resonate on 20 so unbond that first. 

Good luck.

Sounds like either your truck is now resonant on 20M or something
connected to the display system may be.

I have taken the liberty of copying this to a couple of RFI lists
as that is likely to be the best place to find good answers.

This may sound too easy to be true, I've had loose and poorly made RF
connectors at the back of the transceiver cause that exact problem.

Dear Friends

I write him this e-mail to request you a great favor.

I have a Lineal HF Yaesu FL2210b, but has the 2 Tubes
572B very old and it doesn't almost take out power.

I wanted that you asked to the radio amateurs of 
your radio Club if they have some tubes 572B that 
don't use and they can send it to my manager in Spain or to me.

A million thank you in advance for ur help.

Strong hug.73.-
Eduardo CO8LY.
