Stutaeng's 2006 Suburban 2500

Lizardskin... literally LOL.

That's the sound deadening product. You have to wait 24 hours for the ceramic thermal insulation product (tomorrow.)

Ceramic spray on insulation. I only did one coat of this stuff. Should be better than before. I'm kinda tired of messing with these panels by now. LOL. FWIW: I sprayed both products at 60 psi and the nozzle 2 turn out. It kinda sprays like drywall texture for your walls and ceilings. I did have to put on hearing protection because it's LOUD when spraying.

I'm also going to be running the wiring for the rear door lights and the footwell lights. I bought the parts a few months ago and they have just been sitting. Now is the time before I reinstall the doors panels.

Edit: I just checked and my truck doesn't have the brackets or cutouts for the footwell lights... ummm. I either have to raid the local wrecking yards (won't really have time until next weekend) or just try to fab something from miscellaneous materials I have laying around.

Can’t wait to hear about the results

I tried to run the rear door wire through the snake going into the pillar, but couldn't see how to do it. It's not a pass-through hole but rather there's a connector at the pillar sheet metal. So that will have to wait because I was wasting too much time.

So I just finished reinstalling the door panels and went for a quick drive, and it's a significant improvement. Much quieter inside. Even drove briefly on the freeway at 70 MPH.

I'm going to be doing this treatment to my 99 Silverado soon...

Pollo Regio for dinner. Usually not a big fan because it always seems to really salty (probably why my MIL LOVES it LOL). But today it wasn't salty, just right. I was impressed.

 

[stutaeng]

So I was thinking about the rear door wiring...I wonder if I can just ADD another pin to that connector(?) I seem to remember there was empty slots...then it will be like factory. Thoughts?

I need to take the connector apart to see what kind of pins I need. Or maybe just steal one from the wrecking yard to steal the pins?

Yes. These.

I got the grills back installed BTW. I think they look good.

I’ve seen that issue with the material being pulled from the bottom edge of the pull handles on several gmt800’s ironically none of mine have experienced that. Not sure what causes it. But those pull handles are removable from the rest of the panel. I swapped mine around when I was messing around with interior pieces years back and made my own 2 tone interior. I think it’s just a few 7mm screws. Maybe if you pull that off then Rewrap the material and glue it back on. ‍
