Under hood insulation

[HummerNewbie]

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.

[fourfourto]

I dont have any also.

[Steve - SanJose]

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.

[hmrlvr]

They were Fords. What do you expect http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif. 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???

[f5fstop]

GM uses primer. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
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. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

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.

That's a great idea http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the input everyone.

I bought A underhood liner for the h3 from the hummer original parts catalog online.

I bought A underhood liner for the h3 from the hummer original parts catalog online.
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?

[rmaster1]

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

[H3slate]

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?

[H3slate]

Is this it?
# 17800341

http://www.hummerpartsonline.com/index.php?mod=parts&cmd=f&partnum=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]

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:)

[Wisha Haddan H3]

yeah, I want to see pics

[The Green Lantern]

I will post a picture of it later today:)



Sweet!!!! :excited:

http://www.hummerpartsonline.com/index.php?mod=parts&cmd=f&partnum=17800341

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.

[H3slate]

Try getting it from gmpartsdirect.com.

https://secure.gmpartsdirect.com/secure/checkout.cfm?CFID=6435792&CFTOKEN=52110933

They list it at 92.94 with 9.95 handling charge. This includes standard shipping.

You want to see something weird? These two seem like the are both Flow Automotive:

Since both can't ship to me as they don't use USPS. I am going to have to find another company, have it first shipped to my parents, or have my parents get it from the local GM dealer and then mail it to me. I have some shipping restrictions: like 70lbs and like 130 inches in overall girth. Do you guys have a guestimate on the size / weight of the box it came it?

[H3slate]

From hummerpartsonline.com

Why are your parts so inexpensive? Is this for real?

Yes our prices are for real! We sell only original current production original equipment HUMMER Parts. Parts and prices listed on our site are based off HUMMER pricing.


This is great. Their prices are so low because they overcharge on shipping and handling. :giggling:

When I emailed gmpartsdirect.com about being unable to search for parts on their site without the part #'s, they referred me to their "sister" site hummerpartsonline.com.

So when I want oem accessories I find what I want at hummerpartsonline and then buy it at gmpartsdirect.com

12498478 Oem Brushguard (black)

hummerpartsonline.com 458.60 shipping 91.56 total 549.36

www.gmpartsdirect.com 491.98 shipping 9.95 total 501.93



I just bought the brushguard from gmpartsdirect.com and saved about 50 bucks. Don't let the lower prices at hummerparts fool you, they f*** you at the drive thru, I mean with handling charges.

[mountainbiker]

Nice comparison. We can see clearly now what they are doing to us.

Thanks for sharing the info.

rmaster1 we look forward to the pic :popcorn:

[marin8703]

I would like to see pic too.:)

I picked mine up on ebay for $87.00 + $15.00S&H a couple days ago. Here is the link. The guy has already shipped it out and I should be seeing it here soon. I will post some pics. This is the factory one with the H3 logo.

Is the water that drips down from the hood vent tabs going to be a problem with the underhood insulation?

[mountainbiker]

Very nice! Once again I feel screwed by our Exchange Service. I am sure you'll receive yours before me. Let me know how the install goes, and I look forward to the pictures.

Oh god I hope not. I guess we all are going to find out soon. We'll have to report back.

[joedirt]

Got it in today! :excited: I put it on in my driveway and it only took a couple minutes. I will post the pics tonight after I get off work.

Awesome. Looking forward to the pics. Mine will probably be another few weeks as mail can be a bit slow getting to me which is okay as I have (1) a battery problem, (2) my key stuck in my ignition, and (3) stabilitrak and tcs errors ... and only 253 miles. :crying:

Bummer Man. I know what your going through...I had a Jeep Wrangler with problems that I and others could never figure out. :confused: Well here is the pic.:popcorn:

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I like it. It really dresses up the engine bay :perfect10s:

Is that a dent in the top center from the oil cap?

[mountainbiker]

It does dress up the engine compartment, but don't expect it to mask any engine noise...It still sounds the same as before - more cosmetic than anything.

No, the indentation is part of the blanket.

[H3PAC]

VERY nice! Have to get one. :clapping:

STAY AWAY FROM HUMMERPARTSONLINE!!

I know this is a bit late but the story is ever important for buyers.
I placed a $900+ order with them when I first bought my H3 and half of the stuff, despite being listed as in stock on the website, was not available. And then they would not inform me as to when it would be available.

I got my money back after some quick but necessary legal wrangling and bought from some very good dealers in the NE US - who had the parts to me in days.

Buyer Beware of Hummerpartsonline. Period.

:twak: :fdance:

And hummerpartsonline claims to be a "GM certified internet dealer".
