I too have had my 97 Dakota (SLT+ 4x2 CC) for all of about a week and 500
miles now and I think I've noticed the same thing. Starting at about 50 or
55MPH it sounds like there is some air leaking into the cabin. It sounds
to me like it's coming from either the upper left of the windshield or
through the door opening in about the same place. I'm going to have to
hace the truck in for service in a short time (the bumper was damaged
during shipping and the dealer is replacing it) so I plan to drive one or
two of the ones on the lot to see if they have the same problem.
Incedently, what did you use to insulate the cab. This truck is
considerably quieter than my 94 ranger, but I have been toying with the
idea of installing a bit more insulation. Did yours make a noticable
difference?
