Vac Day 3 and I got the truck out of the shop this afternoon. The shop said the wind noise we were hearing was being caused by, (oversimplification) a bad weather stripping seal. They straightened out everything and assure me the noise is gone. Haven't had it up on the highway yet to check it, but I will. And I hope it's gone. Nothing like the sound similar to a grade schooler trying to learn how to play the clarinet, whistling through the cab of a truck, anytime you get above 60.
While there, I also had the (second) 3000 mile check up done. I say second because the truck is 8 months old and just hit the 3000 mile mark, so at 3 months and 1500 miles, I had the first 3000 mile check done. You know, oil change, fluid checks, belts, the whole 100+ point inspection. Hey, I keep the warranty up, it breaks, it's their problem. Nuff said.
After all, when your in the fast lane, life happens.
I thought that was what the stereo is for - cranking up the volume so you can't hear the whistles, rattles and bangs!

Have you suffered through a grade schooler learning to play clarinet? It sounds as though you have personal experience on this issue.
We have an SUV that's still under warranty. I took it back to the dealer for what I thought was "a little" work and they had it a week. They chased bumps and knocks and replaced panels and vents. Too bad they didn't find the intermittent clunk when I accellerate from a stop.....

Buffy, I'll have to post a story about an old car of mine after reading you're comment. I think you might like it even if it doesn't help with your problem.
Bogie, normally the noise didn't bother me (stereo, like you said). But Dudette and I took a trip to Lawrence for a wine fest and 2+ hours up, then back, with no tunes except the door whistle was enough for me. Door Whistle - could be a country band, ya think?

Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for Door Whistle - yep, definitely has a nice ring to it.
