When I bought the new '01. 5 it didn't have the underhood insulation. I installed it to make the truck a little quieter. I have a friend who works for a Chrysler dealer who can get me a little better than average price. It seems to me that it was only like $35.

Go to http://www.fatmat.com/ they have material you can use and other soundproofing items.

If you are looking for something inexpensive to just "cover the paint", the factory hood insulation is one of the best deals. If you are looking for sound/noise reduction, DynaMat, GSI foil faced foam, or a similar product is better. For the best made underhood blanket on the market, try a company named ATP. http://www.atpwrap.com/dodge_ram.htm

ATP products are much more expensive, but for me, they were worth the cost. I was looking for maximum noise reduction products that would last the life of the Cummins engine. These products have met my expectations.

thanks to all for the reply. i am not sure what route he wants to take, but i will pass on these suggestions to him. my only suggestion was that he ditch the gasser and get diesel
