I’m curious if anyone has ever bought a sound dampening hood liner? Results? Do they work? I love the sound of my truck but mainly engine noise is so loud I can’t even hear the radio. 

Time to do the valve lash. 

 

I've pulled every bit of sound dampening material off my truck I got sick and tired of finding the mice packing it around under the hood. Even without my sound dampening material, my truck isn't that loud.

Ha I just did the valves! But I’m starting to wonder if I didn’t tighten the nuts sown good enough and they came loose. Reason for thinking this is also becuase

when I let odf the throttle it starts ticking and diminishes as rpms go down. 

I would double check the valve lash.

That I’m going to do! If it is ok what would cuase the ticking when I let off the throttle?

Most likely valve lash. Guessin' till you check the adjustment. Typically when you let off the throttle fuel stops and the engine becomes quiet. 

You could just get a louder radio.

Ha funny! Let’s be real! I don’t wanna go deaf lol. 

Sorry, I had too.  That was how most of my friends fixed car problems when they were young. If it makes a noise, turn the radio up.

Haha I’m not a fan of loud music! 

Just in my mind or you too...

when idling, sounds quieter with 2 stroke oil?

MYbe a tiny bit. Main reason for wanting to dampen sound is going down the highway it’s the worst. Idk if a hood cover would help much or not or if I would have to do firewall etc.

Somebody posted on here last couple months about custom made sound damping blanket on theirs.

Do you have a link? 

Let's say my turbo is louder than the engine. @Marcus2000monster I would make everything is in working order before covering up a potential problem with sound deadening products.

What is your valve lash set at? 

Can you adjust valves on a hot engine? If not how long to let the engine cool?

Best if overnight cold is best. 140*F or less is OK.

Didn’t think you could lol. 

My problem is is I get home at 5 and have to leave at 5 next morning! No time too cool the engine. Settings should be .010 intake and .020 exhaust correct ?

I know the feeling too. Oh boy do I....
