Supposedly a good way to deaden a 7.3 is to spray rhino lining on the valve covers. It's such a pain removing them on a van I'll probably never do it, but I have been considering putting something on the firewall and doghouse.
It wouldn't make sense to me as a standalone project, but maybe when replacing UVCH or glow plugs. Thanks for the tip! Surface prep might be a challenge. Lots of degreaser first!!
nice job! how do you think the foam will hold up to the heat under the dog house? I don't see (or expect) any specs on the aliexpress page description.
@brin6449 I don't know. It's hit or miss with stuff from China. It doesn't seem like the foam will resist heat very well but the foil will. I stuck it over top of the original fiberglass foil insulation so if it doesn't work out I can just peel it off. I've driven a couple hundred miles since and there hasn't been any odor or smoke.
Getting a 2001 7.3 e350 4x4 in the next couple weeks, these videos are great for letting me know what im in for. Looking forward to whats next!
Lots on the docket! I've been busy with work lately and haven't had time to do many van projects or edit videos.
