Insulation/Sound Deadener

[55 Fargo]

Found this product today, marketed locally as P2000, in thickness from 5/16 to 2 inches, 1 inch =R20, the reflective outer is a vapor barrier too, water and moisture proof. I can do the entire inside of the truck for about $40.

This stuff is very flexible and durable.

This should makes things nice and quiet, cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Much better quality than the reflective bubble wrap.......

Looks interesting and the price is right, too.

Three questions:

Where did you find it? Hardware, automotive, craft/hobby type store

How do you plan to attach it to the surfaces?

how durable do you think it is? suitable under floor covering or just the sides/doors

thx Bob

Going to attach with some type of adhesive such as "liquid Nails'. going to use it for the roof around back of cb interior, on firewall, maybe under the seat, and possibly door panels. I do know it is a water/moisture proof type stuff, but might not be appropriate for the floor itself. i would place it on the floor, then rubber mat with padding over it, not sure if that may be too spongy or not.

This stuff is distributed in my area at Fort Distributors,http://p2000insulation.com/applications/ but I am sure it is manufactured and marketed under other names as well.

I got a box of HushMat to do my truck and paid a heck of a lot more than that. Crapp!!! Good find

Hey I am not saying it is better than "Hush Mat", or "Dyna Mat", or any other automotive designed product.

I will say its some kinda styrofoam, with reflective outside vapor barrier product.

It will insulate and sound deaden well, it looks to be a a better product than the reflective bubble wrap, I am going to use it on my 55Fargo truck, and will update this on how well it is at a later date.

If you want something more durable for the floor (and inexpensive) head to the local big box hardware store and get Peel & Seal.  It's in the roofing section.  It's like poor man's dynamat.  Not something you'd want to put on the inside roof of the truck (I don't think it would stick too long), but good for the floor & sides.

Are you sure this is not a Timmy's add?..lol

FWIW:  the 02 Ram CTD has an asphaltic sheet material on the firewall, a heavy rubber-backed carpet with a durable vinyl in the foot areas, a light carpet-like material on the back wall, and the foam-backed headliner.  Rust-O-Leum has the bed liner in a can that I've heard is a good alternative in the floor area to the bituthane, but it's probably a li'l tricky at the battery lid, fuel tank sending unit access, filler neck opening, etc.  Then a decent floormat can be laid over that for a good trim job.  I did a search using "firewall pad" and remembered that the Quiet Ride firewall pad has gotten high marks from users as it is tougher than the cardboard firewall pads.
