Yes the kilmat/CCF/mlv would increase heat but shouldn't make any difference in a liquid cooled system like the power steering. If it was air cooled only you could run into problems.
Areas i've done where I've been worried about heat so far are the valve covers, engine valley, oil pan, and the...
well got the power steering done, this is a picture before I put the last sheet of mlv on. still needs some kind of tape that will stick to mlv for the seems but with the hood up and the wheel turn against the locks u can't hear a power steering whine just a change in the engine but inside u can...
sound proofed another area on the humvee that might get over looked which is behind the rear seats.
I fit a sheet of kilmat, some closed cell foam, and 3/4in horse mat behind there. now when u tap on the inner fender much less noise makes it through
Need to work on finishing up sound...
took the doghouse off today even with all the fasteners removed/loosened it was still stuck really good so for those looking to improve the seal around the dog house I recommend adding kilmat/dynamat around where the doghouse sits like this.
you can't see any of the kilmat once the doghouse...
here's ya go, if I had to do it again I would have taken each layer of aluminum off and than taken a new razor blade and trimmed the whole thing so it looked like 1 solid peice but with the top aluminum layer off you don't see it with the hood down.
here is a spot that pushes out a little...
Just a little sound proofing today added closed cell foam between the hood and the window frame made more of a difference than I was expecting, also ordered more Kilmat 50sq/ft this time instead of 25 tho I'm thinking now I should mat the whole underside of the hood and then put CCF over it so...
easier yes but also less quality, I started with earmuffs and they work but a little sound deadening will give you better results without wearing anything on your head.
why do you say that? I've dropped it over 10dbs so far without to much work now you can talk at 55mph without yelling. seems like another 10dbs is doable without pulling the body.
tired gluing mass loaded vinyl on the exterior inner fender area up front. used loctite PL 8x and used just a couple peices on one side straight vertical to see if it would hold.
it did not so I pulled it off and cleaned the area back up and will test 3m high strength spray adhesive on it tomorrow.
no picture but you have to remove the peice that the top of the dog house fastens to there are maybe 6 or 8 Phillips and than 3 nuts and bolts under the hood. knowing that should help you find the peice I'm talking about. all the empty space behind that shield is just a echo chamber.
very similar I am also using kilmat and was thinking about doing almost the same thing with the dog house cover but going dog house/kilmat/stock rubber/MLV/foam
may have to put the MLV behind the rubber as it's heavy but would like to put in front.
today I added kilmat to the valve covers, back...
Did some more sound deadening work today installed horse mat on the tunnel, bed, and one rear floor mat. Gonna need another 6x4 sheet if I don't want a bunch of little pieces on the floor mats.
Also used a dynamat like product on the oil pan and bell housing will see in the morning on cold...
