| Description of the problem | 03 1500 ram quad cab wind noise driving on the highway the wind noise is so bad that you think there is a window down especially on the passenger side, i had to take the truck back to the dealership numerous times they replaced weather striping on both sides but the vehicle still has a very bad wind noise on the right side. Dealer keeps saying (could not duplicate complaint) i am a retired mechanic and know better because i ride in the passenger seat when my wife drives and it will drive you crazy i know that the wind noise is not a normal condition you can look at the rear doors on both sides and see they need to be adjusted down but it's out of factory warranty now but it was in it at the time of (complaint's) so i guess i will have to repair it myself. I have ridden in other trucks with quad cabs and they are so much quieter so what is the deal ! ( it takes 2 people in the vehicle to diagnose the complaint) you can hear it from the driver's seat but not as bad. Personally i think they only send 1 person when they try to diagnose the problem. So i guess ill have to dig out mt tool box and fix it properly myself. I am a very disgusted dodge quad cab 1500 owner! *jb |
