Message:
What's up with that? My brand new '02 sounds louder than my '96 did, same engine and everything.

I am considering going to a junkyard and seeing if they would have anything. Anybody else do anything like this? I haven't checked to see if they removed the mounts for the insulation fasteners yet or not. Not that it's super loud, but it's louder than my last one.

If your talking about the under hood pad, they dropped it on the 01's as well

Yeah, one and the same. I know they probably did it as a cost cutting measure or something but still. I wouldn't have minded it as an option!

Next time I get under the hood I'll look for the holes to mount it. Then I might call on the new pad.

You guys want "sound good" put you a cold air kit on your trucks it will sound like it would suck a hood pad off there!

Looks like the hood insulation was only available from 1999-2000.
