Cab Vents and Road Noise

[WY-Dave]

Just wait until you get 2 people closing the doors at the same time haha

I did the Level 2 seat mod, removed them. You be amazed on how much the rear seats block the road noise. I just

One would think!

Rolling the window down a hair fixes everything. In fact, an annoying part of this is that it's forcing my windows to creep down over the course of 5-10 door slams, because apparently that's the weakest point for pressure to exit.

I replaced the vents with the new design. The old ones looked fine, still. As soon as I put the rear upholstery back in place (couple screws on the coathangers, as I recall), the whistle was back.

Do you have something under the seats that's impeding airflow? The vents "should" be the weakest link (by design).

I might start to have leaks at the rear of the cab.

I shut down my business, due to mostly the raised Commercial Insurance Rates, my Ram was my source of income.
I have had a sign that was mounted horizontally just above the 3rd Brake Light & the space between the Cab & the bed.
I had to remove that sign, because the regular auto insurance agents, mentioned that it indicates a commercial business.


The sign partially blocked rain from hitting the rear of the cab.

I will have to watch for Cab Vent leaks, more so than before

I have typical supplies under my seats. I have not noticed that to be an air pathway. But, I will certainly look into it. Is there a duct there I didn't notice? Thanks.

PSA: Check your cab vents!

Even if you don't think you've got an issue, CHECK YOUR CAB VENTS! I replaced the vents on my truck this weekend, thinking that perhaps one or two of the little rubber flaps had been damaged and that was the cause of the leak I've been having in heavy rain... Not quite: One had 6 of the 9 flaps...
