Road Noise
I have installed new door seals in my ‘99 Ranger hoping to stop the loud road noise that is coming from my front tires to no avail. Any suggestions from someone that has conquered this annoying noise?

Re: Road Noise
Windws crank up straight ?
Add some sound deadener in the door, the firewall as far up as you can, and the roof and floor.
In other words, take everything out of the cab and cover as much as you can with a sound deadener.
I used Fat Mat, work out well. I haven't done the roof yet but so far most of the road noise is gone with the windows closed.
With the windows open, I can hear the BFG AT's.

Re: Road Noise
I don't notice much road noise. Maybe you have a wheel bearing going bad?

Thanks but, they are new. I'm thinking that the noise is coming from the wheel wells, that I can see through the door jams. I'm thinking about closing those openings.

I'll get some of that Fat Mat since I have a new carpet waiting to be installed. I'm also thinking about closing the holes that go through to the wheel wells in it's door jams, thinking the road noise gets past the door seals and into the cabin from them. I'm dead sure that it is road noise since it stops when I hit a new section of the freeway. Thanks for your help Scrambler!
