Unhood Insulation

[asylus]

There are at least a few paths for the noise to reach you. Noise that is heard outside of the cab can obviously be transmitted back into the cab, just like any noise outside.

iThe pad will insulate noise from leaving the engine compartment. But It's also likely that the Hood could vibrate at times such that it will create some level of noise due to that vibration resonance of the sheet metal. The mass of the pad will change that vibration frequency to reduce that noise source, like any mass damper.

Ford may have met the noise target for the vehicle during development, just like any attribute target, and may decide it isn't worth more cost to further reduce noise, based on competition, etc. But the owner can always elect to add more cost if desired.

If my hood were to vibrate enough to cause a noise that I could hear within my cab I would not be worried about reducing the noise with an add on. I would have more worries. I have not at this point read any complaints about this being an issue but the earliest trucks are getting older.

CSP Racing best deal for me.... Under hood insulation made a real difference in the sound of the truck..... definitely , one of the best bangs for my buck

Can you post a picture? I currently have the Maxzina mat installed. It is modified to use plastic fasteners.

Just curious - does a hood mat add enough weight to negate the use of aftermarket hydralic hood lifts?

 

[hibred]

do these pads cover up the washer lines or do they go under the lines?

Good morning jay
I did not buy one.
I have no idea you have to ask the OP.
The op could not provide a link so, I would definitely steer clear of CSP racing.

Sorry Glen, I thought the OP would see and respond. Wasn’t questioning you!

Looks to be the same as the Maxzina offering.

I gave up the website..... it makes a difference..... gotta put it in your own work sometime..... Ebone84

If you have the website open....just copy and paste the link. It takes less time then writing comments. Dont be a boomer with the "well you gotta work" BS.

Also why are you taking pictures of a screen? Every ipad ever made can take screenshots, again it is not only quicker then what you are doing but it provides far superior image quality.

It is. I added dynamat just like you suggested. It works well. I wish it were flat, without the molded “y” portion. It would look more OEM that way. There is no OEM option unfortunately.

Let’s see, OP has new account, and most of the posts on it are in this thread pushing a product. Likely works for the companies marketing department.

Would this cause your motor to run hotter?

On the WallyWorld site:
Installation:
It is easy and fast. Align with existing holes, secure with screws and snaps. You will get 7 screws with threaded washers (including 1 set spare) , which will provide a sturdy hold and make it less likely to fall off ...
Good to know it's less likely to fall off...
Also would be interesting to see what "threaded washers" are..
Maybe they are like bolts and nuts...

Considering that the engine is liquid cooled and the mat doesn't seal in the compartment, it's doubtful it makes any engine temperature difference.
The biggest temperature difference would be in the hood.

No!
