Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

Last week I tried to order an underhood blanket pn; 17800341. According to the dealer it has been discontinued. :lame:

Never heard of this. Are there any pictures of the said woobie for the I5? Sounds kind of silly whats the purpose? :popcorn:

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

Purpose is revenue and profit generator only.

Somewhere on this forum there's a picture of one.
I wanted it mainly to reduce the engine heat cooking the hood when i'm out in the desert and it's 110 deg out. I've seen too many older cars with that brown rust spot in the middle of the hood.
I found one at Jegs but I'll have to trim it to fit. Exact fit is easier to put in.

try gmpartsdirect.com


here's a pic

They list it as a special order item. Which means they don't have it in stock. gmpartszone lists it but I didn't bother trying to order. Hummerpartsonline wanted $75 for shipping and handling. Almost as much as the blanket.
The generic one I found will probubly work better and save me a little cash too.
I don't need a big H3 under the hood just for the mechanic to look at:beerchug:

I went directly to Jerry Seiners (The GM Guy) parts department. I figured their ebay store would have the same results.
When the parts department called to tell me he couldn't get it I was looking at that site and told him their ebay store listed them.

Is it machine washable or dryclean only?

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

I just ordered it on ebay from Jerry Seiner. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Considering their parts department couldn't get it.

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

What is the purpose of the blanket?

Sound proofing or insulation?

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

^Heres your answer to that ^


I still think it should be called underhood woobie. Just has a sort a jingle to it. :beerchug:

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

It has no purpose and will smell like piss after hitting the mud trails and cooking all day under the hood.:excited:

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

Personaly I try to avoid sticking my head under the hood at all.:giggling:


underhood woobie... I like it.

Got an email saying I will be notified when the item ships. I wonder how long it will take to ship it 30 miles.:D

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

sometimes she runs better if you check under the hood very now and then:shhh:

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

I like the look, But I remeber how nasty some of them go on H2's

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

My old Blazers had them and the dirt eventualy fell off. I'm not getting it for pretty. Just to reduce some of the heat from baking the paint on the hood.

As for sound insulation I drove a loaner 07 base without undercaoting and there was noticibly more road noise than my 06 adventure with undercoating. I don't think the woobie will make much of a difference in the sound department.

Re: Underhood Blanket Discontinued
 

Depending on the color of the truck I think the blanket would keep more heat in the engine compartment

Maybe it would be quieter on the outside

Maybe since they have fixed the head problems they discontinued the blanket
