Hi Jungle, mine is actually a 3rd gen also. I agree, the exposure to the airstream the front tires get isn't a good thing. My ultimate preference would be a RAM SRT10 bumper cover. But when I started this process, they were $1K a piece. So, I've tried a couple things along the way. Most to my wife's chagrin, but effective. Here's the latest flavor:
I have used foam weatherstripping between the cab and bed. Ideally, I'd weld it together but that would be difficult to do properly... I am looking to get some rubber weatherstripping for the gap, or maybe cover both sides with some saran wrap and spray in some expanding foam.
