Hood insulation....
My F-350 did not come with the hood insulation layer...
And I found that my 6.0 is just about as noisy as my friends older 7.3 psd...
I was under impression 6.0 should have been less noisy than the 7.3, am I wrong?
If I get an insulation layer and install it under my hood, should I notice a drop in engine noise (in cab)?
thank you

my first 1000mile trip last week... and found it pretty loud after a while.... I could not stand the engine noise anymore after 800 miles.
So my guess... is when I will do my 7K miles trip in january.. I will just get crazy about this...
Although I love the diesel noise for my daily commute, for long trip I am not really sure I will stand it....

If I lift the cab and apply some sound dedeaning material to the underside of cab, would this work to deaden most of the engine sound in-cab?
I am willing to do this.

i don't have one on my 05 either. the other day i was getting my truck towed and the tow truck driver was looking under my hood and said it was a good thing because with them on it, "holds to much heat and eats through alternators". idk anything about that just something i heard.

It's not quite an insulator in that perspective.. It's a chemically bonded something or another that is used as a fire blanket.. The purpose of the hood blanket is to melt into a big puddling gunk of "Goo" and saturates the engine during a fire.. Not only does it work, but it completely ruins the truck lol.. However it does help, when I was a firefighter we ran across a few car fires.. It doesn't completely suppress it just like a fire extinguisher doesnt either.. Depending on the elements at hand, O2, source, etc, the fire can continue regardless of its attempt at suppressing it with the blanket.. However it does keep ALOT of heat inside.. Thats one thick ol blanket, and I can feel the heat after a long run and I pop the hood..
