I am sure it has alot to do with your exhaust running out the back and the fact you have gone over your truck and done a great job of cleaning it up and probably tightened an greased all the things that rattle on my truck...and you are minus one axle as well....man that is one fine rig!!! You have done supurb work!! My complements!!

pretty quiete,, I run a 5 ton 10 wheels and is as quite as that..with lead and insulation on the floor..foan padding in doors under dash against the firewall under hood etc. radio cb listenable to at speed ..on 16s thats motorway speed (70 mph.) tho I keep to 1750 rpm ALLWAYS. I see you have oversize tyres on..so with those clock readings..you will be going way over 60 mph.?

Can you provide an overview of the best noise reducing mods?
best mods in order

1 rear exhaust
2 Fat max sound deadening 2 layers on the floor, firewall, hood, side covers, inside the doors, back of the cab ( like dyno mat but thicker )

3 replace all worn weather seals
4 3/8" carpet pad on firewall & floor
5 tighten grease & oil everything (you should do this anyway)
6 magna flow straight through muffler
7 5 to 10 coats of spray on real rubber undercoating on all wheel wells (don't use the cheap stuff its doesn't help)

8 rubber bumpers on tailgate, battery box & Storage box doors
