are you sure the batteries are good? your truck sounds like it's doing the exact same thing mine was doing when i shorted out the front battery. i know you said they're new, but they could have shorted out.

no other camo patterns, but they did have solid black, solid gray and solid tan. I think the black and gray had heavier weights than the camo. After a 200mi highway trip yesterday I can report that the carpet cuts down on a bit of the echo, but it's still loud. I don't think this truck will...

the spray glue worked to glue it to metal, but i had to use hot glue for the carpet to carpet seams

LMC sells rubber matts for the front and rear, though I'm not sure how thick they are. I was lucky, mine came with a 1/4" mat in the back that has proved pretty indestructible and i've slung concrete blocks, lumber and jagged metal at it with no problem

it is indeed carpet, albeit thinner than I expected. I did get it primarily to help with noise and temp, the pattern was just a redneckey bonus

Yesterday I added carpet to the sides and wheel wells of my M1009. Walmart had this stuff pretty cheap, so it was a matter of cutting to shape, and then spray gluing it into place. I'm hoping it holds up well.

How much do you think a body shop would charge to properly hang my doors? I changed the pins, bushings and strikers, but took the doors off to do it. Try as I might, I can't get the doors back on right. They open and close, but you can hear them rubbing on the body, and you gotta slam the...

that must have been even worse... at least i just spilled trash oil, and not oil i just got done spending good money on!

i was going REAL slow with the plug too, backing it off by hand... it went from a dribble to PLOP- FLOOOOOD in about 1/32nd of a turn.

no, i drained the fluid first, never got around to changing the seal. i'll monitor the leak after changing the fluid and see how it is. I cleaned all the residue from the old leak, so i have a good baseline for quantity.

no, i pulled the drain plug first (well, second... i always pull a fill plug before i pull a drain plug). I figured since it's been running with a questionable quantity of fluid for an unknown period of time (never changed in the year I've owned the truck) I might as well drain and fill while I...

well, the fluid wasn't THAT low, seeing how i managed to empty almost the entire contents of my transfer case onto my driveway aua. Whoda thunk that it would make a 3' arc from the drain hole, skip off the pan, and land right on the pavement. Forget the seal, i didn't feel like laying in a...

I looked in the -20 for a procedure for replacing the seal and couldn't find it. Does anyone have a page number reference, and if not could you explain the procedure in a way an idiot like me could follow?

So the rear output shaft of my transfer case is leaking. No puddle on the ground, but the underside of the truck is shiny wet with fluid and the U joint is also "well lubricated". I haven't opened it up yet to check the fluid level, but I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle to change the rear...

changed the fluid in the front and rear differentials, painted the inside of the rear wheel wells with rubber undercoating paint (made quite a noticeable difference in cabin noise)

i've got the silverstars in mine, made a HUGE difference. I do a lot of night driving to and from hunting spots before dawn and after dark, and there are a LOT of animals to see and avoid along the way.

thanks for all the help.... :???: I was planning on buying a roll of carpet from Walmart (won't need to buy a tape measure, as I already have one) and going from there.

I'm looking to carpet the rear wheel wells to reduce noise and help insulate the cab. Does anyone have ready made measurements or a template to make my job a bit easier?

front hubs are not locked, though i did test and see if there was any difference with them locked or not. hubs locked and 2WD and hubs locked 4WD has no difference with the sound. It's actually happening less frequently than it was a week ago, so i'm wondering if it's wearing something flat?

didn't check the brakes, but no noise when going straight, and no unusual pull or pedal force when braking. I would describe the sound as sounding like a skid plate scraping on concrete, or something scraping the inside of a wheel well.
