Yep, mine does it ! I'm getting wind noise in the area where my main doors and access doors meet at the top. The harder I slam both doors, the less wind noise I get ................. but it never goes away.

 

Between my truck and various co-workers and buddies .......... All 6 trucks that I've been in that were extended cab GMT800's did it.

 

Is there any way to stop this??? I'm about to go on a +600mile / 10.5 hr one way trip, plus 400 miles once there, and then 600 back home ............ I can only take so much 'whistling while it works'.

 

Any and all help is much appreciated !

My '03 does it. Dealer could never fix it and I got tired of taking my truck in for it so I gave up. Normally it's just air noise, but in a good cross wind it actually makes a whistle.

My ext. cab suicide door on the drivers side does it once in a while when I don't slam the crap out of it.

My 2006 Z71 Extended cab had a bad wind noise coming from the pass side rear window area. Dealer replaced entire window assembly and noise went away...

 

My '01 ext cab sb 4x4 dosen't have any wind or whistle noises.

I have the same issue with my 2000 extended cab. I found that the door seal on truck, up by the roof, is loose and slides down (hard to explain..). I push the door seal back up so it is tight and the whistling goes away.

I was wondering if it was only me. Seems like a good many of them do it from my experience but just never seen it discussed on a forum before.

 

THANKS ! I'll check into some of those ideas.

Just put the HVAC control on recirculate, that seems to equalize the air pressure on the ex. cab windows and eliminate the wind noise.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
