    Look between the cab and the bed it should be visible... Up high and centered on the rear of the cab. I just looked.

    If you don't have the vent then your truck is a one of a kind. ( which I seriously doubt that it is ).

    I've had the bed off a few times. I never understood WTF people were talking about with their cab vents. I don't have them

    They have to be there, maybe its in the center but its necessary in order to depressurize the cabin when the airbags go off in an accident, otherwise the sunroof or windows blow out from the sudden pressure.

    I understand that, but, my truck doesn't have them. Just the stamped shape of them in the sheet metal. LoL

    I'm not pulling out everything from behind my seat again. But next time i do, I'll take a picture.

    I also have a limited slip diff, other people on here tell me the the truck comes with an open diff. Well, my truck must be a one of a kind.

    They also “open” when you close the truck door.

    Every once in awhile I’ll smell a musty odor in my truck.
    But only when it’s been really humid and raining for a long time.
    Like days at a time. If I run the A/C or hear for about 5 mins the smell goes away.
    Never found a leak and nothing is wet. I just figure it’s part of “being in the south” with humidity?

    Yeah.
    The only time I ever had any moisture on the inside windows was from doing storm clean up.
    I am almost certain it was from sweat logged seats. I was using my truck to hauls of limbs and wood to the edge of the property. Getting in and out of the truck all day for 8 hours with sweaty clothes got the seats wet. You could see the seat covers were wet from sweat. I should have left the windows cracked that night, but I was worn out and didn’t even think about it. Next morning the inside windows were “fogged up”. All of them, even the rear windows.

    I know it sounds disgusting, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
