I received my soundproofing material from Quad Dynamics LLC, Aaron recommended it to me. After doing some research I went ahead with them. The guy says that Ford buys some from them. My nephew came over and had the dash out in about an hour. He worked so fast that I don't know if I followed all of it or not. After he left I started to wonder how to get behind the vents because I want to sound proof it all. Found two bolts but there has to be more.





While I was waiting on him to come I did the roof. The dynamat you see on the floor I did last year but it was incomplete. It ended about where the back seat starts, I plan to do it all including the back wall, doors and under the hood.

 

Oh, I forgot. My nephew recommended that I shim up the cab mounts about 3/8". He said that it doesn't sound like much that it will give my up pipes a little more clearance and actually make them quieter. He pointed out that the cab lines are slightly lower then the bed lines and they would match up. He was saying that the mounts in the core support are studs and the body has to be lifted over them for the shims to be put in there. He said to hold the bottom of the bolt while I loosen the top. Sort of lost me there because looking up from the bottom it just looks like a bolt. Do you guys think this work would be worth it?

 

That looks awesome I wish I had the time to do that. Maybe in the future.

 

I wish I would have done my behind the dash when I had it all apart painting it. I did not take the dash out. I did sound proof the floor and the doors. My wife don't like the noise either Glenn.

 

I have been thinking of changing the mounts on my I have been told that they settle over the years. This is what I was looking at
Body Frame Mount Bushings Kit (2)

 

Awesome! I would love to do that to mine someday.but I'll prob never get that far.

 

Glenn there is installation instruction on the website I just posted that might help you with the shim project.

 

Thanks Mud & Kevin. Looks like a good link.

Thanks Aaron for the tip, that's pretty good stuff. I also lied, I started on the roof yesterday after I couldn't get going on the compression check. Its time consuming putting it on, lots of cutting.

 

It will def be worth it in the end. I have faith buddy!

 

Great, I like directions when I'm trying something that I haven't done before. Right now I'm soaking it in Aerokoil (sp?).

 

I have been told that the cab bolts are loctited in and can be difficult to get out. I did a F150 in 1993 but don't remember much about it. Good luck

 

My nephew said that and he said the trick is to use a propane torch to it until it starts to smoke, then hit it.

 

Thanks Glenn, this will help when I decide to change my.

 

How much did applying the sound deadening mat to the seemingly little bit of surface area behind the dash really help? I've removed a dash in a Gran Marquis just enough to replace the heater core. Removing the whole thing to get to the firewall seems daunting.

Hadn't thought of dropping the head liner...

Subscribing!

 

Looking good Glenn. I need to take out my seats, get rid of the carpet and put a rubber mat floor in.
