I have seen some options out there,
1. Stock 2. After market a. AA pad b. Rix914parts- modern material, light weight c. dynamat d. 914rubber pad. 3. -others?? Also in the cab, the rubber sound deadener( I assume this was only for sound or vibration, since it is rubber I doubt it did much for heat) - I pull this out it was stock and am trying to decide if I should put it back in again or do dynamat or something like this on the inside firewall before putting the backpad back in |

Dr. Phil,
Check out my build link Michigan Build I state all the details, I like both of these materials. I used the EZ-Cool only in the engine bay. |

Dr. Phil, Check out my build link Michigan Build I state all the details, I like both of these materials. I used the EZ-Cool only in the engine bay. Looks like you are covered! Should be taking out the vibration sound transfer as well as reduced thermal transfer. I wonder what the comparison of dB at compatible speed and rpm would be for your before and after - with/without? |
