wheel well vents

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but on the front passenger side wheel well of my 08 d.c. there are vents. What are these for and why aren't they on the driver side as well? Its got me baffled.

 

the air intake breathes out of the passenger side fender so it has a vent to allow the air to flow better. the drivers side doesnt have it because it doesnt need it.

 

i wondered the same thing. lol

 

Unfortunately it lets a ton of moisture hit the fog light structure

 

...and then we installed snorkels on our trucks...

 

then what about the puddles on the right side of the road getting thrown into the wheel well? lol

 

lol But i only mall crawl

 

...AND?

 

Welcome to TW.

 

I'm up in The White Mountains of NH, where wwe'r having a spring-like melt. Roads are soaked. I just added some new fog LEDS yesterday. The drivers side mount was dry as a bone but the vented side was absolutely soaked with sand and all kinds of nasty.

I covered the passenger-side vent today with flashing. I'd rather deal with an immeasurable loss of performance or ventilation then electrical issues or the need to replace the entire assembly.

 

You joke, but I have found my truck in busy parking lots a few times only because of the blaze orange maxtrax on the roof rack and the top of my RTT.

 

or what about a aftermarket intake, where the air being pulled is redirected?
Im not ready to cut a hole in my fender to run a snorkel just yet. its still my street queen

 

It was a significant emotional event last week when I put the drill to the paint. That is for sure.

 

They are rad. But I cant yet lol.

 

If you have a friend, ask him to do it while you get tanked in his kitchen. That was my plan, then he forgot he had a fire academy thing to go to.
