insulation under hood?

Guys when I picked up my 350 it had no insulation mat under the hood should there be one?? Someone on the forum made a post a while back but I could not find it. Thats the only thing that was missing after my experience with the NICE tech I decided to ask you guys first!! Thanks in advance!!

Aparently the insulation blanket has been dropped by Ford.
There is a long thread on The Diesel Stop. Here

I was so upset yesterday when I first opened the hood. There was no insulation on the hood. Do you know how much does it cost ??

Thank you,

CGOLEYE- I got the dealership to sell me the hood insulation and the hardware for the install at wholesale since the vehicle did not come with it it was about 80.00 total. You will need the insulation and the plastic studs that push in to hold the blanket. They are just like the ones that hold the rubber seal in at the front of the hood!! You will need about 18 of them. Hope this helps see if your dealer will buy it for you!!

BLACK350/6.0L - Thank you for the info. I think I have to argue with my delaer first since every truck had insulation when I ordered last November 6, 2003.

Thank you !!!

I was just looking at my owners manual and on page 36 of the 6.0L supplement it gives a stern warning like:
"Tampering with Noise control System" is prohibited
"Among these acts.."
"removal of hood blanket... "
is specifically mentioned as a prohibited act according to Federal Regulations enacted 1-1-1978 !!!!

Don't feel bad, GM forgot to install the underhood light. Think they saved a quarter per truck, but the insulation is there.
