The last 2 pages of my build thread have some discussion on this and some real numbers. In short, nearly full coverage of dynamat made very little change either to my ears or a sound pressure meter - fully lining the floors and cab wall with mass loaded vinyl reduced overall cab noise by 5-8 decibels. That's without doing the doors and without fixing any wind noise. Hmm, Okay. maybe I'll just keep that in storage for now. I think the main issue was not having wheelwell liners, and the fenders just catching the wind.
Minuit Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 It certainly won't hurt, but don't expect it to cut down road or wind noise. Dynamat and those kinds of products work wonders on highly resonant panels that make noise when they vibrate but they won't block noise from passing through them (which is what road noise is). For example, a whole sheet of Dynamat on the roof made driving in the rain much more pleasant - no more noise from rain hitting the roof, and about 50% coverage on the doors made them sound a little better when they close too.
HOrnbrod Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 THESE helped quite a bit reducing road noise. I put them on in 09 and they are still hanging.
Minuit Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I gots a set of those coming too. Will see how they do in my truck and see how they affect the numbers.

Ataki Posted September 16, 2017 Author Posted September 16, 2017 Well, USPS showed up and dropped off a couple of packages. The terminals for the a/c harness came in Also, a used shifter from an AX-5 Cherokee. (On right) They appear to be very similar, but I noticed the knob position was different while in gear.. (New shifter on right, or bottom depending on how photobucket screws up) The lower section is shorter, and the upper section is longer. Hopefully this will stop the knob from slamming the dash. Now, stupid question, but... Does the lower section go in like this: Or like this? I've flipped it back and forth so many times I just can't recall.
Minuit Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 Looks like it's the bottom one: That's the best pic I have, sorry. Love your attention to detail.

No worries, That's perfect. Now I can get that knocked off my list. And thanks, I tend to get a bit OCD, which strangely is a good thing and bad thing at the same time..
Minuit Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 I got my lower door seals in this weekend. I'd agree with Don, it seems a little quieter. Less wind/road noise coming from the door gap for sure. I'll stop hijacking your thread now

mattbuch96 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Okay! Thank you!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Minuit Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 You might have to look a while to find them. It looks like I bought the last pair on eBay, but that's the part number of the ones Don and I used.
mattbuch96 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I'm not having much luck finding a set, are they just called "Lower door seals"?
Minuit Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Lower door seal, door to rocker seal, rocker seal, they go by many names.
