Dave,
Good thoughts on the vents. The rubber seals on my kick panel vents are shot. I'm sure they are adding to the wind noise. I will put new vents on my to-do list.

I hadn't really considered adding pressure relief vents. Has anyone here on the forum added these to their truck? Do we know how the vents impacted (better or worse) cab noise?

Thanks.
John
