Just curious, is there supposed to be any? I do not recall if there was any on the other H3s I looked under the hood at but notice mine has none.

I dont have any also.

None on my H3. Insulation placed on firewall by factory seems to be effective.

H3 white/ebony, lux pkg, chrome pkg, chrome wheels, chrome side steps, sunroof, XM, auto, hitch, Hitchcam, RW chrome gas cap locking cover, etc.

Any reason to be concerns about what the heat might do to the paint on the hood? I have had two Ford SUVs and on both the paint on the hood sucked. Don't know that it had anything to do with heat but have to wonder.

They were Fords. What do you expect . I have noticed the paint on some fords looking bad after a few years. I also had a Chevy that the paint peeled off the hood and top???

GM uses primer.
Many older Ford trucks didn't use primer, they were suckered by a paint company that stated their paint did not require primer. I believe these were for trucks in the later 80s, early 90s. Not that familiar with the problem, but had a paint guy at GM explain the problem.
There is no sound insulator on the H3, doesn't seem to need one from what I have heard. As for heat, you bring out a good question.
I guess you could purchase one and attach it, or just hope that the testing indicated it was not required.

If youdrive through enough mus puddles you get a nice coating of mud/ water grime on the underside of the hood. That should do the trick.

Neither Kira's or mine have the liner under the hood either. It's kinf of nice not having it! My he has that and mud water, road grime get under there and into that liner.

Was it a quick install?

I thought I heard somewhere that it had something written on it, e.g., H3 logo, does it?

I dont have any insulation under mine either, but i would get this if it has a logo or something as the previous poster asked. Does it?

I also bought the underhood insulation and to answer the question
it does have the H3 logo on it.

It makes it look pretty sharp:D

Re: Under hood insulation
 
what is the part #? the gmparts site is great, but a pain to find a part without the part #.

Anybody have a pic of the insulation?

Is this it?
# 17800341

http://www.hummerpartsonline.com/ind...rtnum=17800341

It is listed as an underhood blanket. Of course there is no pic of the part.
It is also listed on gmpartsdirect.com.

For the people that have it; do you like it? Any pics? Is it quieter?

rmaster1 10-20-2006 07:10 AM

Re: Under hood insulation
 
that is the correct part number and name for it.
I like it but not much of a difference as far as noise.
It looks really cool when you open the hood and see the logo
I will post a picture of it later today:)

Re: Under hood insulation

I thought I'd order a hood blanket even before the photos; however, look at the Processing & Handling was $75.00:

1 *17800341 BLANKET 1 $86.48
Processing & Handling: $75.00
Subtotal: $161.48
* This is a special-order, non-refundable part.


I think I can do with out, until I can find it cheaper.
