Default Grill gaurds.....and a whistle at about 55mph

Does anyone know who sells a nice grill gaurd for 05 dak. And i was also wondering if anyone makes a after market grill that looks different than the stock one?

Is there any tsb out for a whistle noise at 55mph at part throttle. Its definantly comming from the TB. Checked intake hoses all are tight.

Thanks

You can check out my grill. Follow the link to my pictures and to the E&G Classics website. Also, as far as grill guards go, are you talking about the somehitng like a VentShade grill guard or a Bull Bar?

O its called a bull bar. I never called it that hehe. So yeah thats what i mean.

So no has that whistle\humm sound at about 55mph. I'm talking about at just a little bit of throttle at 55mph. If you get the chance try it and let me know if you hear anythig on yours. After i get it up to about 60 its gone.

I'll get some pics uploaded after christmas.
see ya and thanks

hmm, cant say that I have a whistling noise. Now I do have a massive roar and sucking noise, and then a (blow off) sound when I release the throttle, but thats all from the cold air intake

Good luck man
