I've driven my Dak in 6 harsh Korean winters with a lot of salt and sand,
and I get no water intrusion through those holes into the engine bay. It all
comes from underneath the truck or from the front

> Recently purchased a 2001 SLT. Have an issue with the large openings in
the front wheel wells. Living in Minnesota I'm concerned about all the road
salt, snow, slop, etc getting up into the engine compartment via these two
huge holes. Amazed Dodge didn't cover them up as in previous years. Any
thoughts about closing up these two holes to better protect the engine
compartment (especially in the winter months i.e. Oct - May (up here))??
Appreciate your feedback. My dealer says they were left that way to assist
in engine cooling...but I'm not buying that.
