New foil backed Jute or foil backed Sound mat and foil backed Jute will make a big difference in noise and heat in the cab. It also affects the look and feel of your finished carpet install.

I usually attach the new Jute to the floor in at least four pieces. 1 & 2 the floor wells and up the firewall, 3 the transmission hump, & 4 the doghouse. 3M Super 77 works fairly well to keep the new Jute from sliding around under the carpet and the foil keeps the Jute from getting chewed up by the burlap carpet backing.
