I'm going to hazard an estimate and say that my experiment of carpet in the deuce was successful. Basically, gray indoor/outdoor carpet that I already owned, cut into three sections on the floors, one on either side of the tunnel and one over the tunnel going under the other two sections.
I just installed 3 bits of carpet in the foot wells and over the transmission hump. In addition to the muffler, I suspect this will keep things very quiet.
I have some grey indoor and outdoor short pile carpet. Several rolls. I could easily lay this in the cag over the floor for some adhoc insulation and make the truck more comfortable for the long drive. I've thought about a layer or two of rhino liner too, but haven't taken the time to buy it and...
The thing about this insulation is how to apply it to the inside of the cab with out it looking like crap? Dynamat makes some kind of spray that would seem to be better than these pads for insulation. Thoughts?
There must be some other boots that could be used from normal civilian applications? There certainly must be some nice butyl rubber boots that'd work just fine.
What have people used for sound/heat insulation in their deuces and 5 tons? I'm trying to get my M813 a bit more quiet for when I start to use it more.
Any preference for panels vs spray on foams? Did the bedliner material help?
What about boots for around the shifters and levers?
