So the issue is,... my truck has wind noise when I'm on the freeway at 75mph? ....Pretty sure it's normal...unless of course you drive in a vacuum ;)

Mine too. Starts right at 75mph, sounds like somebody didn’t shut the front doors all the way. Super loud.

I'm super curious to figure out what they did to cure this problem. I've been looking for a solution since day one. Thank God for these forums, where would we be without them LOL. Maybe they can finally solve this problem. I know without pushing the dealer in a certain direction they just tell me it's normal my truck could be on fire and they would say that's normal.. LMAO

Hi everyone,
Recently there was a Technical Service Bulletin (23-012-19) that appears to address concerns similar to the symptoms that you are having with your vehicle. To ensure this TSB applies, we would like to get you back into the dealer to have a qualified technician review the details of the TSB and specifics of your vehicle. Once reviewed, the technician can then perform the repair procedure that best matches the symptoms and diagnosis of your vehicle. We're happy to help with this process as well. Please send us a private message if you have any questions!

If it's the seal in between the cab in the bed I already installed that myself and I'm still having the same issues but I'm not really sure what the cab seal is referring to...

It looks like it is the one that they are talking about.

It was a small hole in the fire wall. The dealership is crown dodge of fayetteville NC call them ask for Kevin in service and he will be able to tell you exactly where it is located. All I know is it was on the driver side towards the top. Also be very surprised how much a Google review and some phone calls to FCA can get a dealership motivated to fix your problem.

It was a small hole in the fire wall. Drivers side towards the top. Have them or yourself call crown dodge of Fayetteville NC and talk to Kevin in the service dept. You can drop my name William Myers and he will be able to guide you in.
I will call later today! thank you very much! I hope this works! Thank you very much.

From all of us to you! @Wmyersabn

The odd wind noise I am having comes randomly from the passenger window and only last for a minute or two and the randomly sounds like it seals itself back up to all quiet again

Thoughts ?
I am having the same issue. Did you figure out a solve for this?

Hi All,

I am also experiencing a horrible tea kettle type whistling coming from the back of my Ram, and its driving me insane.

19 Ram Laramie Sport Crew Cab
1,000 miles
Purchased in Presque Isle, Maine, 12/29

With either the drivers or passenger window down, I get the terrible whistling from the rear of the cab. It seems to start from 30mph and up as other here have mentioned. The only thing I've been able to do to stop it thus far, is open the rear sliding window about half way.

I just got back from my 2nd visit to the dealership, they installed the missing seal on the outside of the cab as others have mentioned here, and as part of a RAM bulletin. That has not resolved the issue in the least, the Technician confirmed this.

I tried to take a video of the noise on my way home from the dealership about an hour ago, here it is posted on my YouTube channel. What you use see in the video is the rear passenger side of the cabin, with the rear seats folded up.


As I told the technician, this sounds (no pun intended) like a small issue, but as some of you here already know, it is incredibly distracting and gets to be unbearable after a period of time.

When I talked on phone to RamCares, she had no clue what I was talking about. Left mine at dealership in Lubbock last Sat since the techs at the place I bought mine don't know "come here from sic 'em" when it came to fixing anything on my truck.
