Hey guys. I have a 1987 Silverado V10 I’m looking totally gut the interior and put down some nice heat and sound barrier. Also going with carpet mat. What do you guys recommend. I see many opinions but want something good and what it to hold up! Any ideas much appreciated!

I used Boom Mat by DEI. I'm going to add more OEM style jute with foil backing before I carpet.

How big of a difference was it after the boom mat?

I used Kilmat. Got it off amazon, it was on special so the price was great. I didnt miss any spots on the floor or up the back wall. I had my metal dash out so even the firewall was 100% covered. I did inside the door panels and on the outer skin behind the panel. I did the A and B pillars and the ceiling under the headliner. My opinion. It made a huge difference. But everyone has their own belief on the stuff.

I remember all the thugs well mostly the wannabes talking about that stuff and their cars to keep from rattling with their speakers.

Wouldn’t know. I don’t talk to thugs or their wanna be counter parts. I read a bunch of reviews. Found some on amazon and bought it. I’ll defer to your knowledge of thugs and rattle traps in this case.
so @87Oliver it appears it will also keep yer truck from rattling. Another added bonus to the stuff.

Haha. This was way back in high school. Don't deal with thugs or big speaker people anymore but back then you were contained with these people in a small classroom and heard them talk about their rattletraps.

Personally I’m not a fan of paying more for the same thing. I use Kirkland medicine... great value milk and whatever is made close enough to the top dog brand. I’m not paying a ton of money for Dyna mat when something is similar. Or even close in performance.
Except toilet paper.... don’t go cheap on that ****.

I'm with you. I'd buy whatever was cheaper and did the same or 90% of the same thing as the original brand

So, the dynomat, killmat, noico, whatever butyl barrier is a good start, but to really block noise you need mass.

Most of these companies sell mass loaded vinyl, mass is what you need to stop low freq's, this stuff will stop buzzes and rattles, but won't dull road noise or exhaust noise. That's what Jute attempts to do at lower cost.

You also don't need full coverage, just 25% or so coverage on each panel to stop it from vibrating like a cymbal.

So, that stuff, mass loaded vinyl at full coverage, and the flooring of your choice, should be good for a drastic change.

OK, how do you get that stiff mlv to conform to your floor? Will heat work? I've used mlv building sound studios and I can not imagine using it in a truck cab.
Please enlighten...

Like Blue Skin....
Maybe you don't have this product in the US... the sticky water guard you put around new home window openings to prevent leaky windows from
soaking the framing..
I've used this very successfully silencing HVac for sound studios and ...(secret silent grow rooms in sneaky folk's basements.)

Heat is exactly how you do it.
