I also added poly tubing to my door seals which made my cab quieter.

Some folks are bed liner coating there valve covers and have stated that quieted things down. Insulating the firewall with sound mat is another option. New injectors can make the engine run quieter.
What is poly tubing?

I guess I should have said 3/8" clear plastic hose. Military service flashback on calling it poly tubing. In colder climates I would stay away from hose and use use foam or surgical tubing.

What exactly do you do with it? Is it adding an extra seal in the doors?
