Hood insulation

[laserjock]

I’m poking around finishing some stuff up on the truck and one thing I’d really like to do is cut a few more decibels off if I can. It’s not horrible but after a couple hours it can get to you. First rally trip I didn’t even have the radio to drown it out at all.

I never put the hood insulation in the new hood. What I had was in okay shape at best. Rob @F350camper did an excellent work up on his ranger as he added sound deadener taking measurements along the way. Just wondering if anyone has done that for the full size trucks?

New hood pads are available but not super cheap so I’m thinking return on investment here.

Also if anyone knows where to get the rubber bits that were glued on top of the doors, I’m assuming that might help my wind noise situation. I put new door seals in but the pieces along the top of the door were roached so I didn’t put them back. I don’t remember lmc having them.

Thanks!

I've been considering something like dynamat.

I am waiting for @saburai to get back stateside and get a few more months of use out of his firewall insulation. I'm interested to see how it holds up for him.

Yep, really quiet with the shop truck hood in the garage.

Excuse my novice approach what's the company name of the product and I did you use one box since it says 12 sqft. Curious for the measurements I will be looking for insulation for my truck as well.

Web search came up as Dynamat 11905. Can purchase from Amazon, Summit, and many more. 12 sqft should cover a hood.

You will have excess to do some of the inner fender as well if you want

I got lucky and found a good used hood liner for mine. I have also used the hoodliner material wespaul mentioned. As far as that weatherstrip piece you need, Bronco Graveyard seemed to have the best price on them and had them in stock. I just ordered all the weatherstrip for mine from there.

I won't be back to NY until the end of June, but I'll be putting down the miles then...

I bought the "kit" from LMC which also includes a black plastic / pvc cover for the entire underside of the hood. Nice "finished" appearance. I'll have to take a picture of it. Excellent fit, and the kit came with everything to do the job. I also just recently purchased new seals for the top of my doors from Dennis Carpenter (note they have much lower shipping cost as compared with LMC). Price was between $30.00 & $40.00 for both seals. Haven't installed yet.

Yes pictures please if you get a moment.

You can get Heating and A/C duct liner. They make stick pins that are adhesive to assist with holding it in place while the contact cement dries. Duct liner comes in 1/2" and 1" thickness.

Coupla pics, haven't had time to clean since hunting season, in fact truck hasn't moved since end of Nov. Anyway, here's a few pics of the under hood cover / insulation + top of door seals.
