Does anyone have the part number for the factory hood pad?

You talking about the under hood liner? If you want a muddy, slightly used one, drop me a pm.

is there any real downside to taking it off?

other than maybe some noise which wouldnt really bother me anyway, lol

If there was, Dodge wouldn't have done away with it.

My 2002 doesn't have one, nor do any 2003's or 2004's.

I am thinking of taking mine down. All it seems to do is shed dust all over the engine compartment. Dodge wouldn't void a warranty for a missing hood liner would they?

BigBlue

Probably.

It does make a noiticible difference on 94-2002 trucks by reducing the resonatiing cackle, the hood works as an amplifying echo in a way.

I just took mine off. I didn't notice a single bit of difference in noise. Not trying to insult you ddestruel, but I didn't notice a change one bit.

ddestruel

No insult taken.

i was just stating my experience, but each person inturprets things differently, my experience was that everyone who knew my vehicle and a friend of mines (who's truck we put a fiberglass hoodon) commented about how quite mine had become(granted its a ford) and how noisy his was after the hood swap. Probably shouldnt have made the broad claim but oh well.

Pulling this subject a little further out of my own curiosity, has anyone ever tried any of the sound deadening products such as dynamat in place of the hood liner? If they did, how'd it work out?

The '04.5's do. (The 600's)

I'm just about to get rid of mine. I don't think I'll notice a difference,, of course, I'm straight piped and have an AFE MegaCannon. It's a Noisy *****.
