Hood insulation

It's my understanding the hood insulation has these functions.....1. keep the noise down, 2. keep the hood from getting too hot from engine heat ..to touch ( on a warm day). On the other hand , it also provides excellent fodder for the occassional mouse nest. The jury will be out on this one for a long time. It's your truck and either way should be ok . I will warn you of one issue , from personal experience,.....I replaced mine a while back and the cost of the insulation was less than $100. The SHIPPING however was $125.00!!!!! the insulation with the box it comes in weighs about 12 #s but it's "oversize" .

Hood Insulation
I have a 97 DI 110k miles on it. My Hood Insulation has gotten torn from the hood prop bar. I was considering snatching it out. Was wondering about replacing with some of that aluminum foil cover insulation board.
Think I will just leave it out and do the hood blackout as well.
