Kilmat versus Podnamat - Soundproofing a Ford E350 7.3 Powerstroke Econoline Van

[@megumuu-]

Getting a 2001 7.3 e350 4x4 in the next couple weeks, these videos are great for letting me know what im in for. Looking forward to whats next!

Supposedly a good way to deaden a 7.3 is to spray rhino lining on the valve covers. It's such a pain removing them on a van I'll probably never do it, but I have been considering putting something on the firewall and doghouse.

It wouldn't make sense to me as a standalone project, but maybe when replacing UVCH or glow plugs. Thanks for the tip! Surface prep might be a challenge. Lots of degreaser first!!

nice job! how do you think the foam will hold up to the heat under the dog house? I don't see (or expect) any specs on the aliexpress page description.

[@PowerstrokeEconoline]

@brin6449 I don't know. It's hit or miss with stuff from China. It doesn't seem like the foam will resist heat very well but the foil will. I stuck it over top of the original fiberglass foil insulation so if it doesn't work out I can just peel it off. I've driven a couple hundred miles since and there hasn't been any odor or smoke.
