Mud Packed Door Jams

What was Dodge thinking? Anyone ever drove their '06 down a muddy road? Good luck getting from the cab to the ground without getting dirty. My bottom door jams pack FULL of mud, like 2 inches worth. Bad design on an awesome truck.

I have an 04, and they put new seals on mine. It was a TSB, I can't remember the #. Do a serch, and you'll find it. I do not know if they have it for the 06.

I have the same problem on my 05. You go through alittle mud and the door jams contain more mud than the rest of the truck.

Here is a link for the Door Seal. I would have thought 06 trucks would already have it. http://dodgeram.info/tsb/2005/23-005-05.htm

It's a real PITA. I am amazed at how many places mud can migrate to. I'll have to order the new seals and install them.

All I have to say is take a look at a Superduty in this area. Mud gets packed in all the way up to the sill. DC must have copied this area of retardation.
