2010 Silverado Crewcab System Install!

can you fill the bottom with some kind of "Great Stuff"-like foam that will keep the chips from rattling? Otherwise, shopvac and some tubing/attachments? Lastly, cut the bottom of the door and weld it back up?

 

None of the options are much fun though.

ive spent quite a bit of time with a shopvac and attachments along with smacking the door so the glass can rattle its way up. its still in there. i did get alot, i mean ALOT of it out. but you can still hear the rattle every time you close the door. i think the only other real option without cutting or anything is taking the door itself off and shake it upside down. not planing on doing that anytime soon.

hmm... small hole saw in the bottom and then plug it with a grommet from the hardware store afterwards?

 

Aww hell - fill the door with sand

it was a nice day out, so I took some time and did the roof!

 

Here's pics...

last pic.

 

I fumbled through it a little, but was able to fix it right. I was going to do the 25% in the middle of the panel rule, but screwed up by putting them in the wrong places. So I patched in and attached a little, and got it right in the end. It is quite a remarkable difference! Hitting bumps, closing the doors, the exhaust, the stereo, are all a little different/better. The truck sounds more solid and little bumps don't rattle around so much. That roof is like a drum skin from the factory!!!! It's good now though!

 

I'll pick another nice day next week and work on the floor!

My whole interior is yanked out right now. I CLD tiled the floor and back wall, and did CCF and MLV from the back wall to about the middle of the truckl so far. Today I need to do the rest of the floor and get the interior back in. I was surprised to find the the factory does CCF/MLV from the firewall down to the beginning of the floor! I don't know if that's on all models or just the duramaxes though.

 

I added something to my install though I picked up a Rockford Fosgate Punch 500-2 and a 12" Alumapro bandpass box from a local on Craigslist. Seeing where you mounted your amps is a HUGE help! I was otherwise unsure on where it would fit. For now I'll stick the BP box in there, but the next project is to make a custom box for a 12" under the seats.

looks like I took the front pic b4 I put the CLD tiles down - oh well.

 

This is the OEM CCF/MLV up front...

sweeeeeeeeeet

the rest

[N2BRK]

oops, one last one.

[N2BRK]

ok, I have the interior back in now - yay. I took it for a spin and it's great :-)

 

I got the amp in and wired except for the remote wire and the RCA's. I'm waiting on the line converter to show up on Thursday, and I need to find a source for switched 12v.

 

Getting there!!!

I assume you are planning to mount that fuse wholder to the chasis?

 

Looking really good.

sweeeeeeeeeet

[N2BRK]

there's no fuse in it yet, but no I'm not planning on moving it. Why should I?

[N2BRK]

I'm looking at the pic and I don't think you can see it's velcro'd in place.
