Visor = Wind Noise ???
I was thinking about installing a Lund visor on my SD. However, when I inquired at the local autobody shop I was told that some visors will generate alot of wind noise. The "personal story" example I was given was regarding a visor on a newer Chevy, not a Ford SD. But, until the wind noise issue was brought up I never gave it any thought...but now, obviously I am.
Has anyone experienced additional wind noise as a result of installing a visor on their SD?
Thanks in advance.

I just drove a buddy's truck and YES there was noise from the visor. At about 60 mph I thought his engine bay had a weird noise. After a while I figured out it was the visor.
You could try stick on wheel weights to keep it from vibrating.

I'd avoid the visor. They can be a lot of trouble, and I haven't ridden in a truck yet with one that didn't make a lot of noise. They screw up the aerodynamics real good, too, lowering your gas mileage. If you HAVE to have one, make sure you get a money-back guarantee if you aren't happy with it.

I installed the new Lund "Lunar" series visor to my SD, it has a lower, sharper, more aerodynamic profile to it, it slices through the wind and is ported to allow wind through it. I don't have any wind noise or vibration, it added great looks to the truck, I'm not at all disappointed with the visor.

As far as the visor, I have the lund sunvisor on my truck. It does make some noise, although, I don't pay much attention to it. It's not overwelming. The problem I do have, is that the bolts keep loosening up, letting it rattle. I like it, but, sometimes it's agrivating.

I had a Lund visor on my last truck and it made a tremendous amount of wind noise. I would not put a visor on my truck again although I did like the way it looked.
