Question. Humming sound - clearance lights or other?

[7.3zilla350]

Just received my new 350 tremor, on my way home from the dealership on the freeway a loud humming sound was quite audible around 75-80mph. It seems to be coming from above over the passenger seat. A closer look shows a considerable gap between the light and the roof. Do other trucks with the same option look the same in the way their mounted. Would it be worth sealing up the gap? Has anyone else encountered a similar sound and found it to be something completely different? Sound clip of the humming attached.

No. That gap is normal. Just check the tightness.

Could it be the windshield recall problem? Not sure what it was all about but remember seeing it on here

That's the way mine looks, no noise. If easily duplicated, I would take it back to the dealer and have them look at it. Must be something else.

I've got some gap as well. All have snug screws and no noise.

I was wondering this as well. Looks like I’ll be taking it back for them to have a look at it.

I just replaced all of my clearance lights with Recon smoked. When I removed the factory ones the gasket you are able to see is already sealed. Your not going to be able to get them to fit totally flush, especially the center 3. I never had the sound your speaking about. Also don't tighten the screw too tight or you will crack the lense. I would think the noise your hearing is something else, just a guess.

The windshield recall is for reattachment of the windshield because the windshield may not stay adequately retained during a crash.
