under hood insulation / silencer

[Tomeygun]

I have saw that on the "600"s i have sold that dodge has put back the under hood mat / sound deadener



does anyone know the part number?



I have looked and looked, but to no avail...

I would like to have one if i can get one, I think it would keep the ticks to a minimum

Geno's Garage Cat#LM-0. 5036548734A for $42. 00. Couldn't find it on their web site, may be there. (800) 755-1715. It is on my want list. Amsoil man had pictures of his install in his gallery.

i answered my own question, I had to hold on the dealer parts line for an hour though,



Here it is:



Part # 55365043-AA --- diesel only hood silencer

part # 6504135 --- retainer clips



I have already ordered mine, $54, but I think i will like it



Only 3 in the us, (in milwaulke, actually)

I'd like to maybe stay away from the factory piece. It's really a dust and dirt collector. I'd like to maybe put a fatmat on the hood or something of that nature that isn't cloth type... .

I thought it was odd that my 95 gasser had the pad and my 03 burner did not. Friend pulled up with his new 04. 5 and saw the new pad. Next day, call 2 dealers and they were both stumped. Knew exactly what I wanted... . but could not find it. The yearly cost f the TDR had already paid for it 4 times over with info alone!!!!



Thanks for the info.

Does the under hood silencer really make a diffenence? How many of the retianer clips are required?

 

[artie]

Tomeygun,

Thanks for the numbers parts guys at the dealership have ordered the silencer and they already stock the clips for other vehicles.

From the pictures I saw in Geno's catalog it appeared theirs had a silver foil surface which looks sharp and should be easy to clean. I'm planning on getting theirs since I think my truck's too noisy

noisy? my 01 reg cab slt work truck with dual 4 in. stacks and no muffler is NOISY. real trucks rattle. my new one is to quiet

I got the last one out of Milwaukee! Had to pay$79. By the way, you need 12 clips and the hood for my 03 is a different p/n than an 04. 5 so I may have to drill.

As a side note, I asked the parts guy about the chrome body side moldings and he said it just came out as a kit for $129.

I called in my order today--parts guy said there was only one in the country, and it was in Idaho! Had no idea how many clips were needed, so I said order a dozen, and I'll figure it out once I see the blanket (thanks, Scotty, you make me look psychic).

I am waiting for them to make more you guys bought up the entire stock... . bummer... ... . Did get to check out the 600 and the viper truck nice truck 154mph top end dang hate to see that insurance bill.



Cool gauge cluster I wonder if it would fit mine ... . hmmmm... ... ... ...

Maybe I am missing something here. As quiet as these trucks are, why would you want to put a sound deadner pad on the hood? For that matter why does the factory do this? Would it be more to protect the hood from heat. Seems DC is a bit obsessed with the engine cooling on the 600. Or have they be putting pads on since last September when the 04s came out? Just a thought.

i am pretty sure i don't have hood insulation on mine... [too early in the am to remember]

 

[Pawpaw]

No pad on my '04.



What I'd really like is an under hood light.

I installed the "silencer" today. It does seem to knock down a lot of the higher frequency noise from under the hood.

As a side note, the parts guy told me hood pads are designed to melt and smother a fire should it occur. Pretty bizarre eh?

How long did it take to install?



Did you have to drill?

 

[Tomeygun]

1) - 5 minutes

2) nope, all puch-pin securing



I have mine on, but it helped a little on the tick-tick-tick from the injector, But turbo whine is down

 

[Jengle]

Mine was built in October 03, and doesn't have it. 04 model year. Guess I'll get one, since I am upgrading the sound system.

Installed my hoodpad today. had to stand back and think "it can't be that simple to install". Took about 5 minutes. Part took 5 days to get from Milwaukee.
