Reduce cab noise

I have a 97 F-250 7.3 power stroke short bed crew cab. The truck is a 10 with all respects except the engine noise in the cab.

Does anyone know of an enexpensive way to reduce the noise from the engine compartment to the cab ??

Thanks

look up eDead on ebay from Elemental Designs. it's a cost effective alternative to dynamat. they have two different kinds, a mat that you peel apart and adhere to the floor and firewall, or a brush on rubberized kind. i just did the brush on in my 450 and the stuff on the roll in my 150. between the two, i think the stuff on the roll is better.

Biggest improvement I did was to stick pink insulation around the shifter boots from under the truck.

Makes a huge difference and will eventually fall out making you sick of your truck again. Just stuff some more up there and your good to go again.
