Common air leaks on these trucks - easily caused and easily fixed. Chances are your weather stripping as slipped or has shrunk due to exposure (age) or your doors are bent allowing air in. After my first lock out experience with this truck i had the same issue with air leaks until i discovered what it was: door frame bent when it was wedged to get the door unlocked, and just recently because i need new door hinge pins.
Any body shop/skilled mechanic can perform the "adjustment" and install the upgraded OEM hinge pins or you can do it at home if you are careful.
What happens is you need to bend the window frame back towards to cab, if that is where you hear the air rushing in. If you cant figure out how to safely do it, take it to someone who can - you can screw things up otherwise. If its the bottom seal, that means you are going to have to flex the bottom of the door AND the top of the door.
If its your third door on the extended cab model, there is a series of seals you need to check and make sure they aren't torn where the doors come together and you may also have to adjust the third door latches (this is a pain in the butt)
