My XM works great except when I drive EAST in my truck. I have it mounted on the roof, front passenger side. It was the easiest place to put it, but it looks like I'll have to move it somewhere else to get better reception. Any ideas why this is happening? You can see the antenna fine from any side of the truck.

Try centering your antenna on the roof. If you have it on the passenger side, the antenna is on the south side of your roof when you are going east (unless you are driving an english car, then forget about the rest of this post :) ). I believe that the antennas can use the roof to reflect some of the signals and thereby creating a larger antenna (sort of like a dish). Since most of your roof is "after" then antenna, it cannot reflect anything giving you a weaker signal.
