Removing Hood Insulator

Just remove the pop-tab lookin things by poppin them off with a flat head? Anything to disconnect once i get those out, or is it that easy?

It's just that easy on the gen 5.5 (just replaced mine). Don't know about a 2K, though I would expect it to be the same.

Is there any benefit to removing the hood insulation? Will the engine run cooler in the summer?

There well be a very small difference. Not enough to notice though. I rather have protect my hood to be honest with you.

maybe he wants to remove it becuz hes getting a new hood...and if you wanna take off your windshield washer hoses, you have to remove the insulation under the hood to reach it...
