Vents in the back of cab ?

[NSperduto]

I'm browsing around the bone yard the other day and noticed a dodge dakota cab. It had vents on the outside back of the cab



Kind of reminded me of heat register vents, they look to let air out but not in.

Then I looked on the Ram and they have them too.



Anyone have any idea what they are for.

I think I have seen what you are talking about. I "Think" they allow some fressure to escape when closing the doors, but I could be way off.

I noticed it on my cab as well. I was always curious to find out what its for.

So you can close the doors easily with the windows up.

So you can close the doors easily with the windows up.

They are also to let a small amount of fresh air in.

I would imagine they allow your heat or air to work with the windows up as well. If you have the vents on recirc. , it wouldn't matter. But, if you have them on fresh air intake with the windows up, the cab has to vent.

All cars and trucks have them you need air to pass through. Some are hidden better than others.
