I finally found a Cummins! I am about the happiest person in the world right now, It is a 99 Quad Cab Shortbox laramie completely loaded, I love It. It has a aftermarket hood on it with a cowell induction that "V's" out from the dodge logo in the grill, looks sweet. It is a real one, under the hood it is open for the air, my questions is that it has the original hood insulation under it, which blocked the airflow, I want to take it out, But I really do not want to damage my paint or warp the hood, The hood is steel i think, dont know if solid or fiberglass packed, but will the removal of the insulation damage my hood surface? Thanks!

Look at this and tell me what you think. Call someone at NASCAR and ask them what they think.


It's called SuperTherm. (http://www.supertherm.net/home.htm)


That would be my first choice. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

How about just cutting an inlet area? Usually that insulation is for sound, not heat.

My truck never had it installed on it from the factory. I also have a friend that has a 01 and it did not come with any, no Ill affect's from not having it.

I don't have any either.

decontenting i guess is the word.

no under hood liner on my truck...

my 98 has a cowl hood with 156,000 miles on it....no insulation no problems.....my 03 has a cowl hood on it .....13,000 miles no insulation...no problem...





i wouldn't worry about it

My 04.5 has it... Maybe because it is a "Laramie"...
