I have had my new 09 for about a month now, and while I am pretty satisfied with my truck, it rattles like a can compared to my 07 GMT-900....I have rattles from behind the door panel which are plastic/rubbing related, and a piece in my sunroof rattles, and also the XM Box in the Dash it sounds like....anyway I know how they all come apart so I'm not even going to waste the time to take it in for warranty work....

 

My solution is to do some sound deading like I have done in the past on my 2001 and 2004 Trucks...I usually got Part No. 268-010 from Parts Express which was an Asphalt Based Peel and Stick Sound Deading Product....however now they dont' have this anymore and they suggest a PN 268-035 which is a Vinyl Based Product...its a little less thick. Does anyone have experience with this product? If not this product, does anyone have any other experience with a comparable product that they would recommend?

I just put some Fatmat www.fatmat.com, in the doors, back wall and floor of my '04. It made a big difference. I haven't used any other sound deadener so I can't tell you how it compares to the competition, but it worked for me.

If you have rattles around panels. I have had luck using cardboard. If you pull of and panel that has metal clips, remove the clip from the panel and fold a thin piece of cardboard over where the clip was and put the clip back on. It will sit nice and tight in there after its installed.

 

just a thought, has worked for me.

I read on a Corvette forum that some guy used foil Duct insulation from Home Depot with good results. I may try that when spring comes.

Sound deadening or insulating materials will not stop or reduce the rattles inside the cab. If anything, rattles from interior parts will seem louder after insulating.

 

Still, sound control materials are always a good thing. Stay away from any asphalt based materials. They will emit smells like a paving crew, whenever it gets hot. They can also sag and run and eventually get hard and loose some of their sound deadening qualities.

 

There are a lot of different brands out there now. Many of them are asphalt based. The good ones are usually a butyl based (rubber). One of the big names is Dynamat. They make both butyl and asphalt types. They butyl stuff fromt them is about $200 for 35 sq/ft. There is another I ran across called B-Quiet Ultimate that is butyl and runs about $120 for 50 sq/ft.

 

BTW, The duct foil type insulators from Home D and Lowes have an asphalt material in them.

I have used the vinyl from Parts-Express with good success. THere are better solutions out there but for cost/value, this stuff works good.

Hush mat is also another good quality butyl based matting.

 

It comes in a box in 12"X12" tiles...also in rolls of I think 24"X36" It is used almost exclusively by the guys on Powerblock...and is way cheaper than Dynamat...and comparable to B-Quiet ultimate.

 

Try looking on E-bay though...sometimes you can get it really Cheap on there.

      New car smell air freshener

      By Thanusdoss · Posted

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...
