Dang almost a month with no update, still driving it.

The wind noise is driving me nuts so I bought two new door weatherstrip from GM for 40 bucks each.

Even more weird, no one is causing nonsense in here either.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Would love to toss on some sound deadening to but, I'm afraid I wouldn't stop and it would be expensive.

Might as well throw in a Corvette dash and some Tahoe seats while you're at it.

Oh woops, I though I was watching Fast N' Loud...

just a piece or two makes a difference. IIRC @muddysub found a cheaper alternative for his burb

Can still get them from the dealer, LA warehouse has a bunch.

I hear home depot has a cheap solution. It also doesn't help I don't have a door panel on the drivers side. Eventually I want a head liner and new carpet so it will open a MAW thought process.

A month of trouble free driving? What's the problem?

Hey you still interested in any o these 10bolt parts, or do I scrap'em...?

 

[swettysblazer]

Dang it, sorry forgot about this... what was it again? I believe again front 10 bolt with a few pieces taken off it?

 

[JoshHefnerX]

yup, I've taken the hub/spindle/locks. Brake caliper/ new pads inner/outer C's inner axles center all unmolested.

I used the same stuff, peel & seal from lowes/HD.

I used some of that in a car I had about 15 years ago. stunk for a bit then went away. only used it on the floor pans, here in phx had too many stories of it melting on other surfaces and leaking out. I noticed a difference in the higher frequencies. Found some cheaper stuff that's butyl based and doesn't leak. Still pretty cheap. You only need to cover about the center 25% of the biggest flat panels to make a large difference..

About the best bang for the buck right now.

 

[JoshHefnerX]

You really want it quiet, you do some cld layer w/ a layer of closed cell foam on top of that w/ some mlv on top of that. Acts like a floating floor and starts dropping all frequencies.

 

[blazinzuk]

Throw a little mass loaded vinyl in there and the only thing you will hear is the deafening amount of wind noise

 

[Babaganoosh]

I really want it dead silence.

Peel n seal window flashing from Lowe's. Blocks higher frequencies really well. Lower stuff still gets through, it's better but not perfect. On a small cab like yours I'd do what @JoshHefnerX recommended, you don't have near the square footage I do.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Not really sure on the acronyms he used but I'll research it.

 

[Chevy305]

I did the Dynamat and closed cell foam route and it makes a nice difference than before. Keep in mind though that no matter how much sound deadening you put in you'll never get rid of all the wind noise, loud exhaust, and mud tire hum. With the windows up I can talk on my cellphone just fine but it's nothing like a newer truck. Just saying keep your expectations realistic.
