Sound deadening the doors was totally worth the time.

Did any of y'all use Thinsulate insulation in the door panels, to compliment the deadening material?

I am not doing any audio upgrades just want a quieter interior, hate the tin roof sound when it’s raining, what’s the best brand or style material to use .

Only brand name I have grad of is Dynamat.
I have my wrap / PPF shop talked into installing it all for me.
‘So I am thinking the bulk of the cost I am sure will be the labor.
‘So I want the best most effective material I can get.

Anyone have any recommendations?

If you're going to do the doors as well, you should try to knock those out yourself. It's super easy and after doing the first door it took me about 30 minutes per door.

I'm 2 doors in and it's true it goes quicker after first door, it is time consuming and I recommend taking the time and double checking connections to door card before re-installing the card. I'm doing/have done roof, all doors, back wall and some floor all in with $1 per sqft MLV material

Anyone know how much material is needed for the 4 doors and headliner.
I found this chart.
They don’t show mid size crew cabs.
If I look at the full size crew cab and guess a little bit.
Full size shows 48 and 68 square feet needed.
‘I am thinking 100 square feet for a crew cab mid-size truck.

I can link you to $1 per sqft all in of some 80mil good material, I got 72sqft for $72 and that's a good amount, I would forget about the ~16-18sqft for hood

I bought one box each of these two products and put a layer of each product in the four doors and the back bulkhead and still have a little left over.

I’m getting the headliner done at my dealership when they pull the headliner for the recall. I bought one box,18sf, of 80 mil Kilmat for that. That should be plenty enough.

I got the head done at dealer during recall, that will be plenty

I need to see if they do stuff on the side as well. I have enough sound deadener and Thinsulate sm600L left over from doing the doors to handle the headliner as well.

So are you saying to layer it in the doors, meaning more than one layer of material.

I was leaning towards ordering Dynamat extreme.
It’s not as thick, but has a lot of very positive reviews.

I do find that 3 in 1 200 mil thick Siless material very Intersting.
Especially this part.
Are these other layers of different material important or worthwhile / better then dynamat extreme.
Looks like the Butyl layer would be thinner than the Dynamat . But you get those other materials.

Yes I layered in the doors and bulkhead as directed on the manufacturer’s instructions. Look at the listing on Amazon and scroll through the pics. They provide a couple charts that are helpful. I used max and then hybrid on top of that.
I am not layering on the roof as I don’t feel I need to do that as we do have an insulated headliner. I’m also using Kilmat on the roof as it’s cheaper and comes in a box with the amount of SF I want.

What material is best? I have no idea and too many “experts” out there with too many opinions so I just used what I saw Kyle use on his YouTube channel. I like that dude!

Good luck. The doors are easy just have a good set of the pry tools.

I think the door project is the best bang for the buck. Except the bulkhead, I couldn’t tell any difference after installing but then again, I’m no expert either.

Awesome info, good to know about the bulkhead. I was on the fence on rather to do that.

I am also on the fence about possibly doing a partial floor treatment not pulling the console or seats if that were possible. I think I may try the exterior inner fender liner treatments first. Where you drop the finder liner down and put the sound deadmen on the steel under the liners. Torn between the mat materials and the spray on materials.

I too would like to do under the liners. I pulled the liners installing the amber DRL board and that was easy but didn’t have enough material on hand to do it then. Probably do next spring just to see if it makes a difference.

I have two full panels remaining of the hybrid material and was going to pull the carpet on the driver and passenger floorboard and throw it in. After looking over the work to do the job decided it wasn’t worth the effort.

I’ve been really wanting to do the roof but pulling the headliner was a no go for me. While I’m not happy with the recall I am happy that my dealership had no problem agreeing to install some deadening when they drop the liner. I’ve heard doing the roof really helps. We’ll see.

I have local PPF shop signed up for installing all of my Sound deadening materials.
They have my 2025 now, dropped it off to him yesterday.

Also getting some matte black wrap put on the rockers to complete the two tone look with the fender flairs along with the PPF on the hood.

Once that truck is done it gets dropped off at a different shop to get its bed-rug and topper installed and that truck will be done.

I am planning to drop my 24 RR off to my PPF guy to get it's sound deadening materials installed on it as well.

I got my materials ordered this morning.

I probably bought a bit too much, but figured the trucks will be disassembled and don't want to run out at an in opportune time. I also have several other vehicles, I am sure I could find someplace to use up any extra's also not sure when the stuff will all be arriving.

Amazon only had one pack left of the Siless Hybrid 3 in 1 so I bought it and then bought some more on Ebay.

Planning to use the Dynamat as the first layer on the doors maybe parts of the roof as well.
Then want to use that hybrid Siless material 3 in 1 as a second layer.
Sort of how these guys were doing this Durango.


I am also going to be doing this with the left over Dynamat and this spray on sound deadening material.


I am getting both of my RRs under coated by the shop that is doing my topper and bed rug.

 

[just a guy with a truck]

Did any of y'all use Thinsulate insulation in the door panels, to compliment the deadening material?

i used Resonix Black mat acoustic dampening fiber on my doors and head liner.

have used thinsulate on other vehicles though.
