Wind or road noise

[Rottonrob]

Is there a lot of road or wind nose in your truck?... Mine has what seems to me as a lot of nose. Had them adjust the doors. Still loud. Thanks

 

[Kidder]

Yes, I need to go the dealer and test drive another because mine seems to have a lot of wind noise.

 

[JRadford43]

I believe most of them do. Nobody has a solution for it yet which makes me think it could potentially just be a design flaw with the trucks. Its much louder than any other truck I have ever driven.

 

[Rottonrob]

Found a tsb that fits mine. Will go to dealer tomorrow.

the first time I hear it, was with winds outside at 50-60 mph, and I was standing still

Occasionally I've had noise coming through the door jambs during high cross winds only.

Compared to my 2015 F150 or the new Silverado I tested, seems about the same to be honest. Excluding the 33" tires which are going to be loud on my Rebel, the wind noise seems similar to other high-riding full size trucks I've tested.

 

[JRadford43]

There is something definitely going on though with the rear of these trucks though. When driving it sounds like the windows are down in the back. On another thread it's starting to be determined that the vents at the back of the cab and base of rear doors are letting wind in.

Wind noise is normal but with these new rams there is an issue with the cab vents having air rush through them which is amplifying the sound. Cover your rear door vents one day and go for a drive and you'll notice a difference.

Now getting new brake pads for the squealing brakes, I would be totally up for that... I do my own brakes, but I have not found any aftermarket ones out there. are they going to finally solve the wet brakes in reverse groan, and the squealing brakes going forwards?????

It is still at the dealer.

Same here. Just got back from Colorado a few days ago. I rarely heard any noise and when I did it was briefly during a high wind gust.

Occasionally I've had noise coming through the door jambs during high cross winds only.

 

[Damion]

Looking forward to seeing what everyone finds out. Mine sounds as if the rear door isn't fully latched shut when it is.....

TSB out there somewhere for the moaning brakes, forgot what thread.

Weird. I Haven’t experienced any noise. It’s so quiet in my truck. But I also haven’t been out in big cross winds either.

 

[chad202]

I find it’s quiet unless the wind is blowing. Then it becomes noisy.
