Hey Guys,

I want to clean up my M1009. I need ideas...

I am thinking of pulling out all the matting and seats and just coating the whole floor.

Need to know of a good sealer/rubber paint that will not turn into go when hot. I know alot of peeps do bed liner, but not too sure about this.

Also does the bed liner coating help alot with sound, my truck is loud.

So what did you end up using? I'm about to do this to my m1009. I'm thinking on using a do-it yourself herculiner kit
 
Like all projects I never actually completed it, started working on the Crew Cab... (still working on the crew cab and driving the M1009)

But the plan is now to just go to a local shop and get the spray in....

The can stuff works, but I think a thicker coating from a spray in shop will be better in the long run.
 
Yep. Herculiner or any of the paint on stuff is just heavy paint with sand or something in it. Won't help much unless you bought $500 worth of it and laid it on half an inch thick.

I'd recommend Rhino Liner or one of the "rubbery" bedliners. I have Rhino Liner inside mine and it's pretty good.

It will NOT deaden sound like a factory carpeted interior but it does deaden sound. I also recommend running some kind of interior side panels as that definitely cuts down on the "echo" inside the cab.

Mine's fairly loud between the diesel and turbo mufflers but you can deal with it. However I have contemplated having more sprayed on as I've found they didn't apply this terribly thick. 1/8" or so. In the past when I had truck beds done it seemed like it was 1/4" thick or so.
I had contemplated getting something like the Al's Liner stuff that Blaze used to sell. He had a sound deadener product that would be a good base coat and then coat that with the bedliner as protectant. Didn't have the time, money, or skill at that time.

I also recommend Rhino Liner and the soft stuff because it's less abrasive on your skin. Herculiner, Line-X, and the like are rather rough. I've never lost skin when I had it but others have complained of scuffed knees and torn skin. Mine doesn't do that and even with my young niece and nephew clambering in and out of it nothing has come of it.
 
Alright well now I'm thinking of just insulating the front area and getting a new vinyl floor mat(front half). And maybe next spring herculine the back half. I don't haul anything back there too often
 
Bet yours didn't have the insulation under the floor mat, if it had the floor mat.

GM delivered them with the standard vinyl interior setup. Insulation below the vinyl/rubber floor mats. This became a rust trap as the insulation invariably got wet and stayed that way for a long time. The military solved this by having all units pull the mat up, rip out the insulation, put non-skid paint (sorta like OD green Herculiner) on the floors, and then it was up to them to put the mat down or just run the non-skid.

Actually mine had nothing in the back half, just normal OD paint. The front half had vinyl floor mat with insulation underneath. I pulled up part of the rear passenger footwell area and saw that the insulation was soaked so I pulled it all out a few days ago. This truck was stationed in K-town Germany in the 200th Logistics COMM center. Guess they do things differently over there
 
Eh, like anything in the military when they change something it happens to 75% of the stuff completely and correctly, 5 % nearly so, 10% it never happens, and 15% something completely wrong happens.

The amount of time we spend fixing and updating **** because of production changes on these trucks I have would blow your mind.
 
One thing I can say about my M1009, after I replaced the crapy Fuel/water seperator, it has ran like a dream... thus not working on it...

and my CC is sitting with parts all over the front and back yard/garage.. so yah priorities...lol
 
I found some patio deck type carpet stuff at Home Depot on sale this last spring, and then just cut to fit for the back end. Cut down on noise a lot until I can get time to get her patched and rubberized. :thumb:

I did herculiner in my entire interior, then put in a nice thick insulation in the front half and put a new rubber mat back in (again, front 1/2 only) The back is just the herculiner. Quiet it down? My truck came without side panels, headliner, etc from the factory, so it was loud when I got it, nothing different there. I mainly did the insulation because the cat got DAMNED hot in the summer and was melting my shoes till I took it off. Didn't mind it in the winter, since I didn't have a heater LOL
