Why didn't you put your window screens on when you did your spring cleaning ? The rest of us did .. or are you still riding around in your winter filth ?
tscottme and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
I’d rather be a wimpy steering wheel holder with some blasting AC in this heat than a macho super trucker riding around with no AC and a high stick shift!!
Sirscrapntruckalot, Geekonthestreet, tscottme and 4 others Thank this. -
I can understand OP. On a good 70-80 degree day with low humidity the air from having the windows down feel better than the cold AC. OP you can run some bug deflectors on the hood and windows it’ll help abit. Some will still find their way in.

Modern vehicles aren’t designed to be driven at highway speed with the windows open, which is why they no longer have vent windows (sometimes called wing vents), which not only provided ventilation but also deflected airflow away from the windows when open.

Just a little custom wind deflector on the door edge may solve that. Just need to experiment with it.

Soooooo.. let me get this straight this mid June 2022..with Temps in the midwest at 95 -100° with 80% humidity...and you are driving a aerodynamic truck.... with A/C ?
But yet you complaining about bugs hitting you while driving with the window down
IDK I drive a 1985 truck with wing vents I hardly ever open themand complain more about the A/C not blowing enough cold air..
This isn't 1968 and your driving a B model Mack .. BTW if it was you would get laughed out of a truck stop for crying about a Bee strike and bugs hitting you & moth guts on your cheek..
Suck it up... or roll the window up butter cupSirscrapntruckalot, tscottme and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
