First video I’ve seen of yours. I gotta say I would’ve never thought you were in a wheelchair. It’s good to see people in your situation to doing what they love with nothing holding you back. Very inspirational, keep up the good work.
With the way the intro went and your general demeanor, I was lowkey expecting some wheelies 😂 Fantastic content as always, Joe. Never letting your situation get you down is a lesson we could all bear to take to heart.
The best way I found to kill the sound of the engine believe it or not was to dynamat the underside of the hood... give it a try
Do you remove the stock material? Thanks!
I found the same. Also sound deadening the front wings.
Yep. That and the firewall where you can
Why would you want to hide that glorious sound
I just turn it off when it gets annoying, my friends thinks I'm crazy when I do it on the freeway
You got to think they are just "Huge resonator" and if you don't do the fire wall behind the dash and the exterior parts of the door and outer panels you will not achieve what you hoped. I went as far as the all outer sheet metal I could access. Second layer on inner also and removed the dash and covered the firewall up to wind shield, the pillars, Head Liner, AC Unit Box etc. It does make a difference, I can now talk instead of yelling to have a conversation with passenger's. I drive a Excursion 7.3 $350 dollars later in materials I couldn't be happier
Man! I'm super impressed! Especially you doing it in a wheel chair! No room for me to complain!
I'm interested!
Definitely interested. I could soundproof my Chevy. I'm also in a Wheelchair and just found your channel.
I have a 2002 7.3 . Started soundproofing in the spring. I got ill and am postponing finishing until fall keep up the hard fight.
Great job! You’re a f*cking rockstar, dude! I bought some of the Kilmat in 80mil for my 1999 Ford Ranger, looking forward to installing it.
Recently just got a 1997 7.3 with 78k miles as my first truck I have been trying to find ways to lower the cab noise seeing your video gave me motivation to see results I am very interested thank you for your videos I enjoy them very much
Did the vette with that Killmat and wow!!!!! I’m gonna do the doors next. The body was wrapped so far and made a crazy difference. Recommend it for sure.
"INTERESTED IN WINNING" AND...I'll make a video as well if selected. As always, great content & so appreciate your 7.3L efforts.
I enjoy all your power stroke videos and am definitely interested in the sound deadening materials. Very informative videos. Thanks
I have thought about this in about 12 years. When I was in high school I always wanted to dynamat (think that’s what it was called) my whole car just to see how well it keeps the sound in from my subs and eliminate the outside sounds. Thanks RUclips hole for this video. And you did great on that truck! Clean job
It’s so amazing that kilmat is helping smaller channels but I learn so much more from you guys because of the exposing of the little things I hope
I get the honor of winning on September 5th
Interested in winning! - Check for any penetrations in the firewall too(aftermarket wiring for alarms, lights, air horns and gauges). Earlier 7.3L (99-2001) also had issues around the steering shaft where noise would come through (can see light). Shine a flood light in engine compartment at night and look up under the dash. If you see light, then noise will travel through very easily, and is the main culprit. Also, do the surgical tubing through the door weather stripping mod. Will seal the doors better too.
Would love this kit to start on my 7.3 Excursion. Will need to buy more from them to fit the Ex
Most people miss the biggest source of noise, the hood.
The noise comes up through the hood and in through the windshield. I know it doesn't seem like it would matter but give it a try. That helps explains why the db meter at the steering didn't show much improvement.
Doing the cab will go a long way especially to the general "sound quality" of the cab when closing doors but to reduce engine noise the hood and front fender wells have to be included.
Bet that dynamat and foam soaked up a of those vibrations and gave that truck a more premium feel. From a sound deadening perspective, many manufacturers are using acoustic grade windshields (thicker glass) to help with noise. My 2018 Titan floats around the mid 60's while on the highway.
Definitely a great job. You did a massive difference regardless.
Here’s my tip. Remove dash, and finish putting the deadening there. BUT. Coat the back of the dash panels. Highly important. I will be doing mine, I’ll try to tag you on it. A couple months. I’ll keep you in mind.
DYNAMAT! I used "Dynamat" on my 05 Chevy and now I did my entire 97 CCLB4x4 7.3 in it. Over that I put "Dynapad". I probably spent twice what he did but the difference is night and day! Before it I could not barely hear my chick talking while driving...now I can hear her complaining even when she speaks quietly. Also, my sterio sounds 100% cleaner. No offense to Killmst but do your research...spend the extra cash if you're going to do it (cuz it is a big job) and go Dynamat!!
Any mod that quiets road noise and let’s one hear that wonderful turbo whine would be an awesome thing. I’m interested in winning the insulation as it might help some in our cold winters up here in Minnesota. Truck looks and sounds fantastic!
That's Right !
Firewall both sides, hood, and ceiling, you've done the rest. Believe me, I had a 2000 international with a 12.7l Detroit and I had the exhaust WITH a muffler. Road noise was was as bad as the motor and turbo. I blew the stock turbo after 900k miles, so I put the biggest one that would fit.
Damn that be Nice to Winnnn! My wife hates the loudness of the truck. But it’s the truck we drive every day.
If you want to reduce the sound of the engine, the best way is to add insulation/sound barrier to the firewall between the cab and engine bay. Unfortunately there's rarely room to install paneling behind the dash.
Just did killmat on my obs. So far got 4 doors and under front seats. 2 layers around shifter I'd say that 70% of the noise
I've actually been waiting on this as I've been trying to quiet down the cab of my 7.3 I would definitely be interested in winning this product great video even though you didn't get the results you wanted.
I love what you did with this product very well detailed video looking forward on doing this to my truck. Keep up the great work.
I recently put my 7.3 back on the road after letting it sit with a bad transmission for a couple of years. I have owned it since 2008 and it currently has over 430,000 Km on it(close to 270K miles). I have a Bully Dog programmer installed, K&N Filter, Turbo-back Magnaflow exhaust, and many of the front end parts have been replaced. I found a good deal on a used transmission (crossing my fingers), watched all the 4R100 re & re videos on RUclips and got to work in my driveway this spring.
I was hoping for some assistance but other than a couple of lifts on and off of the transmission jack I did it all myself. The transmission jack needed a mod due to the deep pan on the 4R100 so I made a 2x6 wooden frame to go around the pan with a notch for the gear selector. A piece of OSB to make the bottom of the box so it would be rigid ,and a couple more lengths of 2x6 to support it, bolted it to the transmission jack, and I was good to go.
It took me a weekend to get it out working at a leisurely pace, then I had to get some more parts to complete the job. I realized I would need a new torque converter as it was full of bad tranny fluid, and on closer inspection I saw a decent sized chunk of loose metal inside. I flushed and back-flushed the transmission cooler repeatedly with 4 cans of Lubegard Kooler Kleen, installed a new internal filter and almost 20 litres of new transmission fluid. So it was a few weeks later when I finally got it all back together.
I installed fresh batteries and went to turn the key and... nothing happened. Rechecked the starter and all my connections, but everything seemed fine electrically. I decided to try the gear selector switch from my old tranny as this part also tells the ignition system its ok to engage the starter in P and N positions. I didn't fully install it, just fooled the system by connecting it and letting it hang. Turned the key and the old girl started right up. Big relief!
I finished installing the selector switch and it was time to check fluid levels and go for a test drive. Everything shifted well and I am satisfied that this used but previously rebuilt transmission was a good investment and that my project has been successful. I've probably put about 1500 km on the truck since the install and done some camping and even had occasion to use the 4 wheel drive.
As I've been driving, often at highway speeds, I've noticed the sound levels inside the cab are much higher than I remember. About this same time your series of videos on soundproofing your rig came out. I'm very interested to give the KILMAT and NOICO products a try as I'm sure they will make a big difference in the noise and comfort levels of my resurrected 7.3 litre.
Cheers! IG @66rmurray
Interested in the drawing. 95 F-350 7.3 Crew Cab. Currently the interior is gutted, save for the front two seats for driving around while I'm making a few upgrades. Great video
Nice, I do all my trucks with dynomat. Made my 02 excursion and made a huge difference.
I am definitely interested in entering the contest. I appreciate your efforts to show how to do this project and not sugar coat it when the outcome wasn't exactly what you expected.
Hey Joe! I am interested. I would like to gift this and the work to my brother on his truck. I did the killzmat on the back wall and the floor of my 02 cc. Did the back wall only a while back. But finally after seeing you start this project, I decided to just man up and finish mine. I did the floor in one night. Took me about 7 hours. Put the seats back in the next morning. Didn’t have a lot of time to spare. On mine, I double layered the trans tunnel on top and both sides. Cruising is where I noticed the biggest difference in sound level (to my ears). And a big difference I noticed was the heat in the cab. Much less heat and I’m able to cool the cab even better when I’m down in Phoenix! Very worth it for me.
Keep up the good work. Seeing you starting this project is what finally motivated me to get mine finished 💪🏻.
I definitely noticed a difference with temperature as well.
I’m interested in winning. About 6 months ago I purchased by dream truck (2000 4x4 f350 7.3 crew cab 8’ bed) I couldn’t afford to purchase a fully operating truck so this one has 400,00 miles and the original motor was toast. The truck came with a used good motor that I resealed and installed. I used your videos to rebuild my injectors and the fuel bowl. No matter the outcome I will always watch your videos. I plan on mirroring a lot of your upgrades. Keep up the good work!!
Get outta my head! Will b doing this same project in the near future on my 2001 F250 crew cab. I'm with u on tha dash, I believe that's where most of the sound comes from. Definitely interested n receiving free Killmat. Thanx and keep them sweet videos coming!
Dude! My wife went to cv and I went to dc. Small world! This is the first video I’ve seen of yours. I’ll have to keep an eye out for your truck!
Small world indeed! I’m not in the area anymore so probably slim chances of seeing it haha
THANK YOU to everyone that has entered the giveaway. This video blew up far more than I ever expected because of all of you! A winner has been chosen BUT because there were so many people that entered after the winner was chosen I reached back out to Kilmat and they are going to be providing ANOTHER FULL GIVEAWAY PACKAGE to one more lucky winner. To try and give back to them a little bit, this time around the winner must be following @kilmatusa on Instagram to win the package. The winner will be drawn on Saturday the September 5th! DON'T MISS OUT!!!
awesome! thanks again!!
Right on thanks I'm definitely interested in I'm about to do my dodge up and I was checking out the different products I should try which is how I found ur video im going to goto kilmatusa Instagram and subscribe ther and hopefully I'll get lucky and thanks for the video
Hey brother two questions. First is how does the trim fit with the extra layers under the carpet? Second is what else do I need to do to enter besides follow them on Instagram?
@@nathanbarlown764 Trim was definitely a little tighter going back in but I got it all back into place. As for entering, you are good to go
Would definitely love to get some more kilmat 80 m and noico red 315 mil to finish out my truck. Thanks for the video man.
I'm Interested in the Kilmat drawing. Thanks for doing this video definitely enjoyed it. Keep up the good videos!
Put that subwoofer in a slot ported box and turn it sideways so it fires at the driver rear door about 18 inches from the door. Makes a huge huge difference in the sound.
First time watching one of your videos! Nice truck, great video, terrific job on the sound deadening. Awesome insights at the end. Had no idea you were in a wheelchair until you pointed it out, how amazing that you don’t let that keep you from doing your thing. You have a new subscriber!
Much appreciated!
I'm looking to sound proof my 66 Ford. It's loud little guy! Congrats on doing a fantastic job installing the sound deadening products.
Dude for being wheelchair bound you're fucking ripping! My back would be burning for weeks after what you just did! Amazing job man.
I’m very interested in winning. We all know these 7.3s are very noisy and would love to be able to quiet it down! Thank you and keep up the great content!
I’ve always wanted to pull my cab and completely strip it and sound proof it with killer mat! Definitely want to win that!
Great job. I have been watching your videos because I’m thinking about buying the exact same truck. However, I am going to put a flatbed on it and a big foot camper on top of the flatbed. It’s either that or I buy a motorhome and have it converted to four-wheel-drive, but then I wouldn’t have a diesel so my only choice is to find a diesel truck with an extra cab like yours and do all of the things that you did on your truck. So thank you very much for your video and enjoy that great truck.
Dude! So impressive that you are able to do all that from a wheelchair! I have a 2000 Excursion, 7.3L, and I could surely make use of all 4 boxes of mat & foam. Daily driver and I'd be happy to video log my installation as well. Please consider me, if I'm not too late to the party. Thanks!
My dash is already out for my ‘10 swap! Would love to killmat the firewall while it’s out. Thanks for the content.
I'm definitely interested In doing this to my old 97 ram 3500. It's a club cab cummins, with a 5 speed manual. It's a tow rig, 2wd with a 5th wheel in the back. My grandfather gave it to me when he passed, and I'm trying to restore the truck the best i can. New seats, dash from another truck, and soon hopefully carpet and headliner. Would be amazing if I could dyno mat the entire truck
Bought my first diesel(lb7) a month ago with low miles. Gonna have to invest the time to do this to mine. My girl would definitely ride in it more 😂
Man if she thinks that is loud you probably should stay away from 7.3s hahaha
Good job! I have done plenty of sound deadening and it makes a big difference...Specially if you a sound system which will make huge improvement...You should have done the roof also...The oxymoron is a lot of people add a loud exhaust, cold air intake, and nubby tires which create a massive amount of noise, then want to quite it down with 75 lbs of sound deadening....Yes I want the sound deadening for my next project!!! This is the exact brand name of product I have researched to be the best bang for the buck...
Gotta add it to the inside of the doors and roof! Good luck!
The engine bay is crucial. The hood, the firewall (two sides), the hood rubbers, the wheel casings, the underside of the cabin, and the roof.
I did the same thing but cheaped out on the dynamat. Instead I used 3gal of flex seal and foil airbubble insulation under 5/8 foam for under carpets. Yellow expandable foam in all the hollow channels (specifically the minimal expansion pressure foam for doors and windows). Ceiling was flex sealed and 1" fiber insulation. So quiet, so cold in the summer heat
I will be sound deading mine soon so I'm definitely interested. You've really done allot to the old girl. Its coming along nicely.
3dB is, mathematically, the doubling point of the sound energy. Since it is a logarithmic scale, you can imagine how that curve looks over time. The human ear has a PERCEIVED sound level doubling between 8-10dB, depending on the individual and what is inducing the noise. And yes, in this case it seems the majority of the noise level is from the engine. A hood liner and fully covering the firewall would make a big difference. The next move, though expensive, would be to put in an acoustic windshield. Acoustic glass makes a HUGE difference in sound levels.
I was thinking of insulating mine. 99..f450..single cab..wrecker. Little noisy. Had since new and was never quiet. Thanks..enjoy your videos. Good job young man. Respect meter...pegged.
Awesome vid thanks man, this was a chore I know it!! Lol ... when I’ll pull my dash for sure I’ll insulate the firewall
I think you'll be happy if you do!
Lots of work but any improvement is worth it if you have the time. One thing is that has my thoughts is that running single-shot injectors will increase the engine noise a tad. This is one area that the newer diesel engines are quieter. They run multi injection events. (Not something available to us.....yet. Good job and looks great!
yep. Single shots definitely make a noticeable difference.
Awesome insight , I'm definitely interested in the killmat!
Always been interested in this mod . All the videos I have seen that have had the best results all have had the doors done.
Thanks for the insight on the install!
I’m working on my dads 49 F-1 Fat Fender.
I think the sound of the interior could really use that product.
I’m just painting the Flathead V8 right now. Interior is next.
Thanks for your consideration!!
All the noise comes through the firewall since the engine is right there, so adding sound deadening there would be most beneficial
Definitely interested in this. Is awesome the you and Kilmat are giving away another full kit. This is quickly becoming on of my favorite channels on RUclips. Keep up the great work!
Very much appreciated man!
It’s awesome that your doing this again! I missed the first one but let’s try this one!
Great video, very thorough I am definitely interested in winning I think the sound deadening mat really does help reduce the noise inside the cab.
Awesome video man thanks for the information even though it wasn't the results expected, and I'm still interested in doing my 99' 7.3
Been waiting on the follow up! Thanks!
Make sure you have something dense under the Hood. If you look at VW TDI's, the under the hood and firewall insulation is very dense were the gasoline counterparts only have standard felt cardboard.
Man I have a 7.3 van and a bus with a 466 ... definitely going to need to do some soundproofing
I am definitely interested! Love the videos and content. This was a great way to give back to your community. I applaud your efforts.
I'm gonna be doing this for my 7.3 excursion, I'm definitely interested in it.
I have a 2003 F250 7.3 and I sure would be interested in cutting down the road noise.
Interested in wining! Found your video when looking for info on sound deadening our 1997 F350 CCLB Centurion Pacifica.
I’ve used similar products at a 40% coverage and it made a big difference. With as much as 80% like you’ve done is a major difference in isolating road noise and other rattles. You did IMO a great job with a lot of effort to back it up. Keep up the good work and videos.
I own a 95 7.3 f350. Crew cab long bed. It’s been my baby for 3 years now. I’ve had my ups and downs with the truck but finally running solid. I feel that I’m in the same boat as you pretty much from the dash back it’s an empty barrel. I would love to see how this product would effect my obs! Keep up the good work.
I'm interested in winning the Kilmat, though I'm sure I'm too late. I don't have a truck but I am working on an autocross/street car. 91 Festiva with a B6T.
Loved the video, I will sound deaden my car in the future.
Ah man. I'm sure the heat helped with rolling that stuff on. I wish I'd known to use a heat gun my first go round. Great job! It looks great!
I'm interested in this doing this project to bring 01' to a bit more up-to-date level. I have enjoyed watching many of your videos...helpful information to process in order to decide on future projects for my SD. Good job and good info!
Instead of the vynal u laid down before your actual carpet you should have used jute underlay carpet . They got all diff thickness or possibly polyurethane foam u could have put in certain places and I guarantee you , you would have seen and heard a bigger difference. Especially since your truck has that diesel sound.. good job though I’ve been doing this stuff myself and your legs do get a lil wobbly and definitely your knees take a beating if your not using actually knee pads and you do get very tired especially if your doing it in harsh weather, I live in AZ and I’ve been doing it in the summer .. winter ,spring and fall best times lol much respect good job .
I’ve always really wanted to add some sound deadening to my 02 CCLB 7.3. Like you I like the loud with the window down but quiet to just cruise and I also hope it will make music sound a bit crisper. I hope to do this at some point regardless of the giveaway results! Thanks for all the awesome content and being active in the comment section of other youtubers I watch! 😎😎👍🏼👍🏼
Interested in winning. Would be using it in my 1970 Cutlass as it is a cruiser that I take my family in. Good video and good honest review
Would love to be drawn for this! My 7.3 has a lot of tire and road noise and my 85 year old grandpa cannot hear well so it would help build our quality time during road trips. Thanks for the video!
Imagine one without a muffler! Best of luck
Finally someone with good musical taste!
I wish I would have found your video before now! I really wish that I could have been the one to get the donation to do my vehicle's roof, doors, floors, tailgate and the firewall inside the engine bay and some material to go on the firewall inside the cabin of a 2006 Honda Odyssey!
Im interested, you probably already selected a winner. Nice video, to bad this did not come out as good as you wanted.
I have a 98 12v that makes a ton of cab noise. I'm very interested in winning. It would save me a ton as i have a family of 7 and couldn't afford to do it otherwise. It would be nice to not have to have the radio up so loud haha. Great video man,I really love what you did with the truck all around. I miss havin a 6.0 sometimes but I do love my 12v
Awesome man! was getting ready to do this on my truck a little later this year! am very interested in winning and making my truck that much better!
Great video! I watched a lot of it, i own a wrangler and can see this making a ton of difference. Especially with a nice aftermarket system!
I am interested doing my truck as well. Bad ass how the truck has came along happy for you brother!
Im Interested. I have a E-99 f350 crew cab. Still need to redo interior and exterior of truck. Done major upgrades to the 7.3 engine roughly a year ago. Very loud in cab. Have owned the truck for 19 years. Had 450,000 miles on truck with stock injectors and only had the valve covers off once to replace what I thought was a bad injector. Turned out to be plug in on valve cover wiring harness. Love my truck. It has been a work horse for me but looking a little weathered. Truck runs awesome with the 205/80 injectors with a t-4 s366 turbo. Need to work on comfort and looks next.
IMO your front seats are the biggest reason for the lower DB readings in the backseat area. I’m definitely interested in your giveaway!
Good honest video. Love the content. Keep up the good work brother!
God Bless You young man. Handy Capable is the Word ! Great Job... :o)
Thanks for the detailed breakdown. I’m interested in trying to sound dampen my truck as well!
Interested. Found this video looking for information on sound deadening! Great vid.
Hell yeah I'm interested. A quieter cabin would be such a nice upgrade on those long rides even if it only makes a small difference. Keep on trucking buddy!
Just upgraded our family to a f450 crewcab, please enter us in for the kilmat we would love the upgrade.
From other videos where sound proofing was performed, it may be the doors that have some of the greatest sound reductions. Interested in winning!
I would absolutely love this stuff. My '02 is filled with so many squeaks and rattles that I hate driving on the freeway.
I'm interested! I have an 02 7.3, just finished a 1500 mile trip and had a few conversations with my friend about how loud the engine/ exhaust noise was. I'd probably do the dashboard, doors/ rear, and a single layer over the entire floor, and do a second over the exhaust on the passenger's side.
I am interested in winning and soundproofing my 7.3 Powerstroke. I would love for you to soundproof the firewall on your truck to see how big of a difference it would make.
Very Interested in the give a way!!! Love the video. Can’t wait to do this to my truck.
My dad owns four 7.3L f350s. Love the hell out of them. One of them had the muffler system removed and it was so Damn loud I couldn't hear others speaking in the truck. Not fun. I used to like the noise now I'm tired of it. I just want a 6.7l full deleted with a big muffler to quiet it way down. Give me the performance not the noise.
