If you want to do it that is fine, but first you need to play/test with it. The stuff will expand more then you think it will, and has been known to brake or crack metal from expanding. So you will need to put some in a soda can and see how much it will expand, also it will expand more in the summer time. Either way it's not a bad idea... is it needed to be done though, I don't think so IMO.

It'll work in some places.

And it could also rub which = squeaking in some cases.

i will try that first.. thanks for the advise..

and it is not a necessity(sp) to do it, but i would like it to rattle less. i have heavy rattling int he sides wich are deff causing me to loose db's. I would liek to gain as much as possible.

Its been an average of 80+ here int he past week.. so since u say it expands more int he summer.. i could prolly get away with just 1 can

would never think that.. thanks

think the ruberizer would dampen the squeaking?

and here is a pic of the truck.. the red circles are where i would place the 'GREAT STUFF'

in the pic u can not see my jack storage place.. i would fill that with it aswell.
