    Does anyone on here have any experience adding insulation to your truck floor? If so what did you use and how did you install it?I was considering doing mine but not sure what to use.

    I can't remember the name but had it done to my cabover year's back, it came in a can and you spray it , it was insulation. I just remember before you sprayed it had to be a CLEANED surface.

    Insulate to prevent what exactly? Noise or heat and cold?

    Dynomat for noise. Or you could spend much less going to the Home Depot and buying rubber roofing insulation.

    Heat and cold? Home Depot will have many types of insulation.

    Mostly heat and cold, but reducing some noise as a side benefit would be nice. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, the tiger foam looks like a good way to go as long as the stuff doesn't drip off the underside of the floor while applying it.

    I used Dynamat in my truck but it's expensive. There is cheaper alternatives available. I just put some of the roofing insulation on the floor of my beetle. It's not as good as Dynamat but much cheaper. In my van I put foil backed bubble insulation under the carpet and it helped for heat insulation. There's tons of info on the net if you look around.

    I use a simple throw rug. Cheap and easy got the floor. I'd like to start my own modification company to insulate the big trucks. Easy to do, but the entire interior has to come out. Sure would make for a quiet and comfy truck.

    I use throw rug also,but I was wanting something a little better for this winter. I'm going to add insulation in the walls and wanted to do the floor also , just was trying to find out how other people have done it.
