Sound Deadeners and Insulators




Sound Deadeners and Insulators

NOTICE: Mastic is made of a combustible material and should be removed prior to carrying out welding procedures to the area. Heat zones from welding near the mastic can cause the mastic material to burn.

NOTICE: Corrosion protection must be restored to the area AFTER the mastic material is applied. Corrosion protection products may be wax based and loss of adhesion may occur.

NOTE: The following illustrations serve as a reference to indicate mastic patch (butyl pad) locations. Additional insulators and sound deadeners are used beyond those indicated in the illustration.

NOTE: To restore the vehicle to design intent, missing or damaged sound deadeners and insulators should be replaced with the correct service replacement component.

Regular Cab

NOTE: Body mastic insulators (butyl pad) use the same base part number (25310A60) except as indicated in door applications.











SuperCab

NOTE: Body mastic insulators (butyl pad) use the same base part number (25310A60) except as indicated in door applications.











Crew Cab

NOTE: Body mastic insulators (butyl pad) use the same base part number (25310A60) except as indicated in door applications.











1. NOTE: In applications where mastic material is applied as a pumpable material at the factory, replacement of missing or damaged mastic is acceptable in the form of cut-to-fit butyl pad(s) or pumpable mastic material(s) when carrying out repairs.

Whenever replacement of an existing mastic insulator is carried out, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned to make sure correct adhesion will occur. The surface should be 10°C (50°F) or greater before applying the mastic. The use of a heat gun to warm the metal surface will aid in adhesion.
