Default 2k12 RT concerns and Questions.

Whats up all..so the wife and I have just under 3k on our 2k12 D/RT and I have a few questions..1. Anybody feel the suspension on this truck is quite loud when taking bumps? It almost has that sound of over inflated tires hitting a bump or an over inflated bball being bounced. I know the suspension is "sportier" and the 20 inch tires probably dont absorb enough but for 45Gs..My 06 Mitsu Endeav had a smoother more quiet ride. 2.Has anybody with DVD gotten a small indentation in the sunroof visor at the back of it with some dirt/grease on it? Almost as if when the visor slides back its catching something near the system above headliner. 3. Anybody else getting that flapping plastic sound near the A pillar driver side mirror area? I know people have mentioned it on here but it seemed like just the 2k11 s. 3. Anybody feel like this truck throws off alot of heat? My wife was standing along side the truck talking and almost felt as if the heat from under carriage was burning her foot. The interior is quite hot too, I do have the Max steel and interior is black and it is summer, but that engine compartment just seems to have no heat escape except back into the cabin. Appreciate some feedback.. thanks

Yeah i have the rattle in the a piller but i don't think its in the piller is sounds like an old mechanical rpm gauge when the cable gets worn and starts rattling atleast to me that's where is comes from. My durango runs hot as well for venting under the truck. I just came from a Vegas trip and monitored the coolant and all other temps and it all stayed within "range" but one thing i noticed is there is only one fan instead of two which seems more common now days. Don't know if its less efficient or more efficient but seems to run warmer. I also leave the hood up when i get home due to heat build up. Rather be safe then sorry
