Default Lots of Wind noise in Cab

Goin down the highway when i hit 65+ i start to hear the wind like my window is down right beside me and on the passenger side right beside the mirror, ive looked at the door seals but can't seem to find any tears or holes or anything, anyone have any suggestions? it's driving me nuts.

But on the drivers side the noise is coming from the window right beside me, not up near the mirror like the passenger. Its kind of hard to explain, but if anyone needs more info please ask, this is a problem i would like solved.

i'll try to refrain from the dodge comments but i'd say take an air compressor and blow it in those areas with your hand or a piece of paper on the other side and hopefully this will lead you to exactly where it is

It maybe caused by sagging doors. Try the link below:

If not that then add some extra weather stripping to the door frame.

Chitty design would be my guess.

I agree they may not be the best built trucks but the motor surpasses any small problems they may have. IMO

Well I love my dodge and even love my cummins more. So don't know what to tell you.

Ford has it's own problems the 6.0, 6.4, and the 6.7. I mean its a hell of alot cheaper to work on a door then to replace a chitty designed engine.

Well everyone has thier opinion, me personally, i hate the looks of ford's, ugly trucks if you ask me, but this thread is not a discussion on how trucks are built or what problems they may have.

I'm simply lookin for a solution to my problem.
