Kodiak Cab Noise January 31, 2009, 09:19:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2189There's been discussion on this forum and others on the level of noisein the Kodiak cabs (and other MDT cabs as well). I've gottenaccustomed to the noise level in my Kodiak gasser so that it's notreally a big deal to me but I was wondering if anyone out there hasadded, or considered adding, any of the sound suppression productssuch as DynaMat or the like? If you have investigated and/or installedany of these, what are you thoughts as far as effectiveness, ease ofinstallation, cost, etc?Bill Quote Selected
Re: Kodiak Cab Noise Reply #1 – January 31, 2009, 11:12:41 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2190Bill, we really noticed the change in the noise level from our DP. The engine in the DP wasn't any quieter than the 8.1, but it was 35 feet behind us leaving the noise behind, rather than being right in front of us.I'm used to the noise to some degree now and will be reasonably satisfied if we get the whine removed in April. Not too long after we got the Greyhawk I was conversing on the internet with a woman from Allison. She became my contact after I had a major disagreement with Allison, Freightliner and Winnebago on the transmission warranty.She and her husband (who was with GM) have a Winnie with the 8.1 and she told me her they found the noise very annoying. So, he put insulation in the doghouse that reduced it considerably. I asked for the name of the material and she sent it. It is not on my laptop and I'm hoping I'll find it on my tower box when I get back north. If I can get the name of the product he used I'll post it here.I can't reach her via email now as the Allison addresses have changed after GM sold it. I may try to reach her by phone but I think she and her husband were getting set to retire and may have retired by now.DonOn 31-Jan-09, at 9:19 PM, berfle624 wrote: Quote Selected
