wind buffering

[poweredbyhemi]

Hello i'm new to dodge rams & ram forum so excuse me if this is a well known issue.I have a 15 1500 cc sport & today headed home from work i inadvertently lowered one of the back door windows instead of the front & holy crap i thought the trucks rear axle was coming unglued as it felt like the truck was about to self destruct.I have never experienced this & had no idea what was going on,but after i rolled the back window up it stopped,i then tried the other back window & then both rear door windows & bam it happened every time i opened one of those Windows while all the others were shut.
I had a 13 f150 screwcab & this never happened in it,what do you people with kids do if they're the only ones who lower their windows or is my truck just a pos as this wasn't cool @ all.I will note that other then this i love my truck.

Windows visor helped a lot on mine and also putting the tow mirror in the up position help.

Wind buffeting is mentioned in the owners manual and how to avoid it.

Has to do with aerodynamics and pressure inside the cab.

I just never drive with the windows down.....problem solved for me.

If you're talking about the "helicopter" sound this happens on almost every new car I've been in, especially with the sunroof open.

I think it has to do with the thinner metal being used on vehicles to improve economy and lower costs.

Yea its pretty bad just opening one back window, If I have any windows open I always open the rear slider to allow for a much smoother air flow.

I had the same problem then added some Weathertech vent visors and it helped a LOT!

On y 1500 SLT work truck it does it real bad. I noticed if I fold the mirrors in it goes away but then it feels like I'm driving blind with out the mirror in their proper place. I rarely drive with the windows down. AC is on 24/7/365 anyways.

Thx everyone for the responses,i guess it's normal but I'll admit it had me a bit freaked out when it happened lol.

yeah try opening the front window and not cracking a back window...the buffeting will toss u out of the truck

Yeah it's definitely a shock when you experience that sound for the first time. Most of the time I have the windows down I am by myself so I just lower the front two. I have AVS deflectors and the sound is still bad when you lower just the rear windows. Just has to do with air pressure I presume.
