The Ham Stick has inductance.? Add a few turns of coil at the base of the antenna.
OR improve the bumper to chassis ground. or Both.

Make sure the tuner is close to the base of the antenna.

Just installed the Ft-857D, FC-40, Hustler bumper strap mount and 102"
SS Whip in my truck. It works on all bands but 40 meters (high SWR) I
have tried extra lenght of coax added to the supplied coax. I have
added Ground cable from tuner to frame and still no luck.... I did put
a 40 meter Ham Stick on it and it tuned it no problem. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
Thanks
