Actually my wife will be around Louetta and 249 at a friends since that will be closer to spring she could bring it and meet you somewhere. pm me and we'll get things squared away.

Check it again, sometimes they are quite slow.

Houston... heh. You are all over now eh?

it worked well. I just bought an S-load and had some extra. I never got around to doing the doors, it looked too much to be a major PITA so I never did that part.
yep, once the house sells there, she, the 4th dog, and the rest of our stuff will come here.

I'm glad this thread came again.
I just PNS'd my front passenger door tonight and will work on the others tomorrow. It makes a HUGE difference in the solidness sound when closing the door and also when you lift the outside handle snap closed, no "ping"

I managed to finish all my doors this weekend. While it iisn't exactly "Benz-like", it IS a vast improvement.
Here's a shot of a back door. Two layers per door (2 1/2 rolls for all 4 doors).
I discovered my plastic vapor barrier was missing, so I put my helper to work...
In case any of you run iinto the same thing, you can use 6 mil sheeting. The black tarr stuff that holds it on is called "Butyl Tape" I got 3/8" and stretched it down to 3/16" or so - pressed it onto the door and pressed the sheeting on to it.
Ready for the door panel to go back on:

That was very nice of you. Hate for you to have to leave the state.
You are a compliment to Texas.
On a different note, they are much smaller than the above pics portray.
I would have had a difficult time finding it, because I simply would have
been looking for something bigger. Maybe that is why I couldn't find it before?
I have also spent the last few days sweating, as I thought something was
seriously wrong with my truck. The day I spoke to you, I had a noise that
sounded like a penny bouncing around in the engine. Timing chain replacement
has about 300 miles on it. I was panicked.
Turned out, I picked something up on the highway, and it was steel, and it
was lodged where it was just hitting a lower pully and "pinging" on it.
Thus the reason it changed with engine speed. I didn't know when I was going
to be able to install my new Peel and Seal.

haha, it took me a couple of trips too, and not all Lowes has them in stock. The one by my house had a whole pallet in stock at the time though.
your welcome man, no prob at all.

-J-,
The butyl tape was purchased at an autoparts store. They usually keep it either with the weather strippping or with the autobody repair stuff. I got it at a place called Beacon autoparts long ago (they are long gone). I've seen it recently at a specialty autobody repair store.
A little search tells me that this stuff is also known as windshield ribbon tape. This is the same stuff they seat windshields in.
Here's one of many sizes available:

Well, I put the entire partial roll on the back wall of the cab of the truck before
we took a road trip, to see if it would make any difference. It did seem a little
quieter, and we couldn't hear the exhaust as much.
Roll #2 just went inside the doors. Both doors, done completely, with a couple of
spots done double, and a strip along the bottom of the door just inside the door
panel. Doors shut like a mercedes now. If you tap on them, they sound like they
are made from 3 inch steel. Tin can sound is gone. Haven't driven it since I finished
the doors though.
Roll #3 will go under the new carpet I pick up here in the next couple of months.
Gonna do the entire floor... which means I will have to pick up a few more rolls.
It does go further than I expected though.
Thanks again Keisur.
