I might add in that this new truck was bought cheap. Only the essentials. The black nylon strips that are between the cab , sleeper and the lower fairing , none. Wide open. No moldings around wheel wells etc...
I think it is an air flow matter due to this. Maybe also these tiny mirrors that are actually duley pick up truck mirrors.
I'm not some newbie. This is a real issue .
Dirty road water covering mirrors, glass

This is too much for that. I cleaned them a few weeks back when it happened. It lasted about 1,/4 mile and I could not see out mirrors.
It's not normal. I've had a lot of trucks. This only happened one other time on a old International. Never figured it out. It's wind somehow blowing it up there. Actually make like a wave on door glass. It curves towards front and moves around. Then hot air dries it at front and can't see through that hardly.
Design issue perhaps . Never buy a Pete. Always a bad idea. -
Tried to explain that I was giving him a lot more room as I would pull forward as it filled up .
Made no sense to him. -
And for them, there are no stupid questions. Just stupid answers. -

And you have the audacity to brag about time driving/experiance to others? -
Okay, everyone calm down( easy to say at my kitchen table), but what this driver says, is not normal road spray. Unless someone did some 4 wheelin' and got the underside full of mud, oil leak( on a new truck?) maybe? I think we overdid it this time, and I apologize, I'm not really sure what that is.
markk and austinmike Thank this.
