7.3 Powerstroke: Sounds Insulation & Vinyl Flooring Install

[@johncraig406]

I am amazed at how much you are able to do. I remember the videos about remodeling your house.

[@ET74019]

Not sure what he has but i was in a wheelchair a long time myself, have CP it’s not really that we aren’t able it may have to be done differently then most 😜

I need to get motivated. This dude, even with his handicap, is kicking my ass every day of the week

[@LivingOnWheels]

Should always have a goal to work towards 👌🏻

[@stevekeller463]

This is a upgrade that I must do soon. My wife hates the noise, and that makes long trips that we love with our camper difficult. Also not having much hearing in my right ear makes it worse.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Solid weekend project if you work hard 👍🏻

[@jrowin8297]

Excited to see what you do with this 7.3. Learned a lot watching your video. I’m ready to hear the reason for the switch from the 5.9. Love to see how hard you work being in a wheelchair, nothing seems to slow you down.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Plenty of things slow me down but I try to not let anything stop me. I appreciate the kind words!

[@cucvfarmer]

My brother is going to be cab swapping his 2002 so I sent him the link on the product you used.

[@lewisking567]

Glad to see a 7.3 back

[@JacobGodinez-m4s]

Awesome job man. It made me so happy to see you being able to stand for some stuff.

[@WendyHunsaker-d9l]

The vinyl turned out great! Much easier to keep clean during the muddy season 😉

[@LivingOnWheels]

That’s the goal 👌🏻

[@the_freedom_ford]

Wow! Making serious progress. Love the 7🌲

[@waynelauster7362]

Glad you got another 7.3 I miss mine I can live vicariously through you😂

[@ThreeOhTwoBOSS]

Anything. Awesome to have you back in a 7.3 this thing is gonna be awesome. Can’t wait to see what else you do

[@tikiman48]

Awesome. Doing a bunch of work to my 6.0 now, seats, paint work, fixing some oil leaks to get it ready to sell. Looking to get another truck to clean up and make nice when its gone. I'll sound deaden my next one if its a 7.3 because the motors themselves are so loud. Classic 7.3 content, keep it coming man

[@theezeelife292]

Definitely a must do on my 2000. Its gonna take a bit more as i have a crew cab, but Definitely worth it, especially since its the vehicle we'll be taking on long trips.

[@the_wandering_brute]

Just did 2 layers of this on mine bc your video. Noticeable difference. 👌🏻👌🏻

[@LivingOnWheels]

Anything helps on these beasts

[@mktward]

Thanks for the vid, makes me want to do this to my truck now!

[@ChalupaxX1]

Im glad you came back to a 7.3

[@ET74019]

Don’t blame you for not taking the dash out took the one out of my buddy’s 7.3, he painted the entire interior black, honestly the dash take out was relatively easy but a million bolt😂…took so much time just on bolts

[@ElitheBeeGuy]

Happy to uave you back with the 7.3 my guy! Looking forward to seeing what you will do to it!

[@chrisallen3741]

Im glad to see you back in a ford!…i have lots of questions….

[@slowwhite_7.321]

Nice job! I did my about a year ago after watching your 1st video on the old truck…. Did my doors, roof and floor, really wish I had pulled the dash but maybe I’ll get to that one day. Definitely made a big difference. Enjoy the content, keep it up

[@LivingOnWheels]

Figure if I ever have the dash out for another reason, that’s when I’ll do back there.

[@Irishdux]

Glad to see you back in the 7.3 game!!!

[@franciscoacero5616]

Great job bro

[@kirk2999]

Great job

[@dougmarble1529]

Looking forward to more mod. Keep up the good work.

[@chrissessions5172]

Your videos have helped with my 7.3 rebuild, this will be a later project for me. I’m dealing with FASS wiring on mine rn but it’s stupid loud with 238cc SS injectors from full force diesel. I’ll insulate behind the dash too though.. somebody may have forgot brake cleaner on the dash at some point and caused an explosion 😅 so I have a whole dash and radio I plan to install, now with insulation!

[@LivingOnWheels]

Single shot’s definitely are noisy. And at least you have a good reason to pull the dash now haha. I would load up the firewall insulation as much as possible.

[@packingbone1953]

Had vinyl in my old 2ng gen Cummins and loved it.

[@LivingOnWheels]

I’m glad I was able to find it

[@jeffsidwell2215]

Looking good 👍

[@alexdepaz140]

Love it thanks for all the information

[@bigfoot7.350]

Another great video!!

[@RockyAmherst]

I need to bring you my truck,,,, lol

[@cucvfarmer]

Have you thought about doing 05+ axle swap? There's only a handful of videos on KZbin on doing that.

[@LivingOnWheels]

That is on my bucket list. We will see!

[@johnnycortez46]

U mentioned the truck was loud. My 1999. 7.3 became that way after 100,000. Truck was bought brand new but i noticed it got louder after a few yrs. Anyways one day a mechanic told me to change out the torque converter. When i did that. The sound got alot quieter. Just a fyi

[@LivingOnWheels]

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

[@muzzy24v89]

Nice job!!

[@LivingOnWheels]

Thanks!

[@winmosser]

I know you said you didn’t want to do it, but I’d really be interested in how effective sealing and proofing behind the dash is.

[@LivingOnWheels]

Then you should give it a try and let us know haha.

[@chuckparson6712]

Man you are such an inspiration to us all. I've been contemplating doing that to my 2001 Platinum Edition for a couple years. What was the name of that product? Make sure you record a video when you put that FOR SALE sign on that Dodge 😂

[@LivingOnWheels]

Well get on it haha. The product was Siless. I put a link to it in the description if you’re interested in it.

[@chuckparson6712]

@@LivingOnWheels Lol, it's literally 110 degrees here in Texas right now

[@ZachNMcCall]

I have done the doors on my 94 7.3 I will be doing the floor and roof under the headliner. The engine noise is loud, but the road noise is horrible.

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

Anything

[@davidgleason6400]

Nice! I think adding a sound barrier in these tricks would make a big difference. BTW…did you ever get anywhere finalizing the custom engine plate for the Powerstroke? I know you were working on that well before the Dodge. I’m excited to see what you do with the ol’ girl. Keep the videos coming…Dave.

[@LivingOnWheels]

It definitely doesn’t hurt to add it. I never finalized the engine covers but I would still love to try and do it. Probably work on it again with the new rig.

[@ikzelerts]

Nice work. Good time to sell the dodge

[@LivingOnWheels]

That it is!

[@chrisallen3741]

My first question i have for you …is what sensor turns of the courtesy lights off? Ive been having issues with the batteries draining to flat dead in one or 2 nights. It seems like they stay on too long. Also, i replaced all of the seloniods on the engine and the starter selenoid and km just waiting t see if that fixes the problem

[@chrisallen3741]

2nd question….i cant make the look and unlock switch to work…i replaced the passenger door actuator and still doesnt work and of course the speakers are junk, stereo too…what did you use for stereo and speakers….hehe

[@Brauma54]

The only thing I hate about my 2000 F250 is the seat belt. It rides up and cuts into my neck all the time. So irritating. Looks like you have the same seat. I think the seat should have a belt guide or something on the left side. I’m curious to see if you experience the same issue

[@LivingOnWheels]

It never bothered me too much. I adjust them down as far as they go. Some super duty’s and excursions did come with belts built into the seats. If it bothers you enough you could look out for a set of those.

[@samuelsorrell-u2c]

Do you have a link to the vinyl flooring you used?

[@brandon22333]

What brand of vinyl did you go with?

[@JesusLopez-pz1wd]

where did you get the steps

[@robertb.malthousejr.895]

Just wondering did you use any to clean the metal besides water on a rag?

[@LivingOnWheels]

I didn’t use anything special. Just vacuumed it and then a wet rag.

[@nate317]

So you used one whole box of insulation, plus part of another box right?

[@LivingOnWheels]

That’s correct. One 36sqft box would come really close to completing an extended cab. If you didn’t do the back wall then it should definitely do it.
