Noisy doors on T2000

Better get used to it....It's one of the many, many reasons that I'm glad to be rid of the one I had.

 

There was an update for the daylight doors a while back, not sure if the same technology was applied to the seal for the T2 but if you pm me your last 6 of your vin and year I can see if the original number has been superceded to a new part number. i'll check with some senior techs for any advice/tips.

 

The difference is that the T2000 doors flex so badly that if you are watching them you can actually see the movement.
Daylight doors don't flex and therefore a fix was possible for the little bit of draft that started coming through them as the seals wore in.

You'd probably have to cut a foam mattress into strips and glue it in there to seal the doors up and cut the wind noise in a T2000.

 

The problem is the air comes around the windshield and puts pressure on the mirrors forcing the top of the door outward, in low wind it's fine, in high wind it's a mess.

 

Have you considered some mirrors with a bit less drag? It might be a matter of rotating the housings a bit so they cut into the wind a little better, if that's at all possible.

Short of that, blackw900 probably has the right idea. I don't think the drivers would be too happy about you welding the doors shut, but if the noise is as bad as you make it out to be, they might not mind jumping out the windows.

 

Fair enough, one more reason I'm glad I'm on this side of trucking!

 

My T-2000 is quiet.
Come to think of it, my reefer is quiet.
Think there might be something to this hearing loss thing my wife nags me about?
come to think of it...she's quiet.
