drove back from long beach to modesto today i never fell below 100-mph but the whole time the windshield whined and whistled. the truck has 27,000 miles on it have any of other pathy drivers had this problem?

I've never driven close to that fast in mine so I can't say.

I've done 110 no problem, no noise. Can you isolate where it's coming from? Which window? Side view mirror area?

Don't know if you installed the roofrack yourself but if you put in the crossmember backwards (not upsidedown) you'll get a really annoying whistle at highway speeds. Been right of 100 plenty of times with 46k on the path and the only noise I have to contend with is tire noise.
Anyone get a chance to get north of 115 (ran out of straight road)?

At least on mine the speed limiter kicked in at 110, no more fun for me

Is this by speedo or GPS?

I would think with speedo error, 110 indicated would be around 100mph actual. I've noticed the speedo error in mine seems pretty bad, at about 5 off at 80mph, and getting further off very quickly as speeds increase. All stock too btw.

Will retest with new GPS once I make up my mind at to whick one I want.

I got in-dash navigation w/ a GPS speed read out when my Pathfinder had about 30K miles on the stock Gen. Grabbers in 245/75/16. Then the speedo error at 75 was about 3mph. Now w/ fresh (no rubber worn off yet) 265/70/16 tires the speedo error at 75 is <1mph. Pretty much dead-nuts on.

That doesn't sound right 265/70 and 245/75 should both be around 30.5" in total diameter the difference in tire size being width. YMMV but It took me going to a 31.6" tire for the speedo to be dead nuts. With the stockers I noticed the same 3mph variance.

Sorry for the tangent

the whistle comes from the top left of the wind sheild it likes to do it when it is cold but some times it gets really bad but it sounds like the window rattles but its pretty damn anoying and kinda adds to the list of problems. but i still love my truck
