Wind Noise Poll
First vibration and now wind noise all over board. Just curious if these wind noise problems are narrowed down to bug shields being installed. Personally I would hope they don't correlate. I think Ford should work on design that will handle changes in wind flow, but I'm no engineer.

yes I got wind noise and road noise with no bug shield, makes the same noises as any other truck to me; but I still don't got AC. Fortunately in has only been 50 degree lately,,,and the heater works perfect. Yesterday it got up to 70, and I could tell the AC was not working. When 80 comes I will be sweatin again!
I'm taking the bug shield off and see what happens, an shall post back with outcome.

Gotta use that accelerator!!!
Of course there is wind noise ... I didn't know I even had a V8 until I tossed in an aftermarket air-intake, the engine is so quiet! And even now, unless I am stomping on the gas (probably happens more often or not, according to my mileage 
) I hear more wind and road noise than anything else.

My thoughts exactly. I think the guys on here that aren't experiancing the wind noise have Job#1 trucks. Something was changed (be it minor and non visable) on Job#2 trucks which makes the "quiet ride" not so quiet anymore.
