I too noticed those openings. They are right above the front shocks on the
wheel wells. Those openings also let a lot of dirt and grime, (road salt
here in the winter), into the engine compartment. What I've done is to
cover those openings with a cut to fit black piece of heavy 1/8" thick
canvas material and fastened them in with small nylon bolts. Keeps the crap
out very well and unless you get real close, you can't even see them. I
also don't have any wind whistle..

Just a possible observation since I dont own a newer dak,
but if there are holes in the top of the fenders in the engine
compartment, Isn't this a possible source of the Whistle everyone
has been discussing? Wind does get in there thru the grille... No?
So Bruce, did you have the whistle problem, and if you did, did it
go away when you plugged the holes??? just curious......

Hi all -
Here's another question for any of you out there who have replaced your
valve covers (or gaskets)... and maybe for those who haven't. :-) I'm
putting the Mopar Magnum valve covers on, and the kit comes with its own
valve covers. I was reading my FSM, about valve cover removal, etc.
(cylinder head cover, they call it) and it says that the gaskets are
reusable. I thought there was some talk about this a while back, maybe
Kuk... something about having a blowout and having to redo the gaskets
again... Also, listed in the MP catalog is a set of heavy duty Magnum
engine valve cover gaskets (like $20-25). Should I get the heavy duty
gaskets, use the ones that come with the kit, or reuse the ones already
on the truck?? Opinions, ideas, comments?? TIA
Ciao!
