RaceItAgain, 1)I have not had time to even think about the cowl idea yet. 2) I cut and stuffed a fireproof treated cotton panel in the dash anywhere I could (including by the gauges) 3)The products are from one of brands I sell called CAE. I used VB2HD on the doors and VB4 on the firewall and...

GK, I can relate to being stuck at the house. Supposedly stress caused my stroke, but sitting at the house made me more stressed. Type A, work-o-holics don't "rest" well. I've got 7 churches wanting new sound/video/acoustic control installs by summer, but they can't get through their own...

Class A RVs are lumped into group that includes bus conversions, custom chassis, and (like my mother's)frieghtliner chassis. All which are vastly different. when is the last time a Winnebago owner had to consider putting a home AC unit in a bus bay. That is the norm for many buses. I used to own...

Bob, I have been reading the posts on the other forum to follow your progress. The impression I have: 1) They seem very uninformed 2) They do not wish to be educated 3) There is a combative attitude present Why would you stay there. I'm convinced to absolutely not join. This forum has: 1) many...

that's good Bob. Leaks are a pain. water, damaged interior, mold......the only thing more annoying is hunting down a noise. I had one in a mustang (squeak)that was driving me crazy. I finally had my father drive the car while I climbed all over the inside of the car. by the way it was between...

I surprised that it didn't leak.

Yeah, thanks bob

Bob, my front room in the truck was full of cab parts for three days. I'm still hunting down noises. I'm afraid the windshield is letting most of the noise in. The sound proofing is only as good as the weakest link. I'm contemplating making a cowl cover to redirect some sound over the cab...

LED lamps don't draw near the electricity that incandescent lamps do. It shouldn't even be noticeable with your battery setup. Doc Weaver

Oh yeah, I check Facebook with my email. It is rather addicting. I'll look into that when I get back from Louisiana. Doc Weaver

i haven't figured out how to post pics yet. I will figure it out soon. Doc Weaver

I test the truck after the weather stripping on the door, and everything came together. I am hovering about 70db on the highway. That is a lot more comfortable than before. Its funny, I turned on the radio and thought it sounded so loud. I can hear it so much better. I had to turn it down. All...

Yes, but you put a plastic bag in the cavity first and spray the foam inside the bag. This way, if you ever have to do any body work, you unbolt the piece and take the foam out. it's kinda flammable and sticky. Doc Weaver

I found a loud spot between the door and the side of the dash. Apparently the door doesn't seal very well. I put weather stripping on the door, but I haven't had time to test yet. The other thing I found was a hollow body piece of the body that fits between the side of the hood and the door. It...

I've got the acoustic control installed. The first impression is a 12 db drop on the highway. The road noise and wind noise are greatly reduced. The engine noise is still leaking through a few places. I'm looking into fixes for them. Overall I am pleased with results. We no longer need to yell...

The company is CAE. I contacted them for commercial, but they do car, truck, home theater, and boats too. The driver door is done, and now I have the dash apart. I'm starting to understand how all of these products are supposed to work. Their theory is sound (forgive the pun). It should work...

I've got one door done. The heat gun is paramount. This stuff is fairly sturdy, but when heat is applied, it softens right up. Instead of butylene, it is made of strange vinyl. The idea is that once it cools to the shape of the door, it is stronger and controls any vibration. It is a good...

All I can tell you is they sell diesel, Reese's, and MT. Dew. Doc Weaver

According to the numbers, the products I am using have almost twice the dampening power of Dynamat. Dynamat is, for the most part, a vibration dampener. I am using three different types of product from the same company. This company has been used on the Trick My Truck show. This is the first...

As most of you know, the Freightliners are rather noisy, so as a PhD in acoustics, you know it has driven me nuts. I have a new acoustics manufacture that does vehicle dampening as well. If anyone is interested, I will log the progress as well as the good and the bad. So far all I have done is...

RMS is right on the money. My truck came with 22.5/10s and they are very expensive (compared to 11s. So even though 11s are barely taller, they would not fit under the truck. I ended up with 11/lo-pros, which are still cheaper than 10s. the moral of the story is clearance is tighter than it...

charged mine a week ago....went out today and no juice. maybe I had better follow GK's advice. I'm back on the road next week. Doc Weaver
