Cab Pressure

noahron · Jul 2, 2017

I just bought a new ram 2500 crew cab,first Dodge in years.
when driving down the road and I open the back windows for my great dane the cab seem to build pressure, you can feel it in your ears.Will window vent shades help with this. If i open all the windows it goes away.Anybody have this problem?

Mine does the same thing. When you let down the back windows only, it sounds like a helicopter is landing on top of your truck lol

A lot of newer vehicles do that now when only the back windows are down. I thInk it has to do with the way they shape everything to make it more aerodynamic and fuel efficient. My older cars never used to do this but the last 3 or 4 vehicles I have had did this.

Crack open one of the front windows and it will solve this problem

From the 1500 owner's manual (pg 49):

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, then open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sun- roof opening to minimize the buffeting.

Also open the back window behind the back seat-it helps to

Leave the dog home and the problem won't occur~ :roflsquared:

The vent visors don't help much with this.

Every 2010+ vehicle I've drove has done this...it is quite disconcerting the first time!
