insulating and making a cucv a bit quieter

[84CUCV]

I'm building that am m1028 for myself now. this truck will be driven every day. I'm still waiting to find a 700r4 transmission. I think that would quiet down a good bit. I would like to insulate the hood and the cab. I saw LMC has hood insulation. Want to see what home depot has. As for the cab I was looking for something that is waterproof. any ideas guys what should use? Thanks

I have not seen anyone on here try Al's Liner, but that is the route I am likely going.

The company makes a Al's Liner Heat and Noise Reducer http://www.alsliner.com/alsHNR.php

and they make Al's Liner DIY Truck Bed Liner Kits http://www.alsliner.com/alsliner.php

If you want to go the padding and carpet route, there are several builds in the Garage completed using that method.

I know the m1008 come with the vinyl flooring and that stuff goes a long way to absorbing sound.

remember using something like dynamat you wont need 100% coverage just enough to keep the panel from resonating.

I dont suggest buying from this site but they give very good explinations of how and why you need to do certan things to keep noise out. Oddly most of it goes against the MOAR DYNAMAT!! crowd.

I bought from them, no problems at all

I plan on using the roofing stuff in my Jimmy (6.2). Going to experiment with it a bit. Some have had good luck some not so much

ive heard that bedliner helps a lot to deaden the sound.the hood sound deadener will help as well.

I bedlined the interior of my last truck and I can safely say it doesn't do crap for sound deadening...

Shortly im gonna be ripping all my carpet out, fixing any floor holes, bedlining, and I have all new carpet I bought a while back ready to go in, only thing i dont have are the sidewalls in the back and the door (old carpet is gray, new is tan). I plan bedling and after a lay of some insulation of some sort, then the carpet, I imagine that should make it quiet, and comfy for camping if the back seat is removed .

Spray Foam insulation from home depot in the doors. Works great.

i haven't ordered or delt with the company. but they do know their stuff. sound deadening can be done on a super low budget and way outperform the megabuck dynamat setups. But im glad to know they are a good company as im going to be ordering lots from them soon.

Be careful. that stuff can hold water in and rust a door to peicesand ive seen it disintegrate from vibration over time. hmmm.... i wonder if you stuffed a thin garbage bag down in there and foamed inside the bag if that would work. just make sure to use something like a small hose to leave water channels then pull it back out once molded.

Buddy did that in his Honda. Doors were completely rusted out 3 years later. It retains water bad. Rest of his car was perfect but the doors rusted from the inside out

I noticed that some of that stuff is Nitrile....that stuff burns hot and fast...almost caught some nitrile gloves I was wearing on fire...throw a pair on a fire and you will see what I mean.

Most of sound deadening and heat shield stuff sold for that purpose is fire resistant...don't know about products intended for roof or other use.

Once the nitrile catches fire, you aren't putting it out until it burns up.

I'm with COCHEV. The interior of The Blazer is Rhino Lined, as in the actual professional real deal Rhino Liner sprayed by a dealer. It did help SOME from the bare interior. I did make side panels for the rear of the body and had those Rhino Lined as well so that helped cancel some of the noise echoing around back there.

Still, I'd like to do more to help quiet it down. Gets fatiguing on longer drives.

I have bedliner on the floor also. Its great for keeping it clean, but it is loud.

I was thinking about putting plastic on my floor first and then sticking dynamat to it (so I can remove it if I want to use the bedliner if the truck is going to get dirty). I would then put the underpad that I bought from JCWhitney (cheap!) and then my black ACC carpet on top of that.

The other idea I had was sticking the dynamat upside down so it sticks to the underpad (not the floor) which would also allow for easy removal.

For you 84CUCV, you could put a rubber floor if you don't want to go the carpet route.. LMC has that or polyvinyl..
