So was washing the old Beast, found Right flat area of Hood and one spot on Left was Clear Degrading. Was thinking was MY bad Paint Application, then heat spoke to me. I had during Reman, removed the Self Destructing Under Hood heat and Noise Blanket, hanging in shreds and had doubts as to value to reinstall, got a price for a replacement Kit from KW, almost three years ago now, $1200. All Precut pieces, Adhesive, Retention Pins and Washers, Epoxy to glue Pins to Hood underside. So I am currently In Process to strip off Burnt up Clear, have likely enough Blue to touch up a few bad spots, then still have 1/3 gal of Clear to mix and blend cover to hood edge lines the Clear. Called Kenworth dealer, Ordered Insulation Package, still ill over the price increase, now over $1800. Will NOT be dealing with this again.   Then the Blinds Valances    Can see the Holes where remounted a Stop Shelf as the original was removed. |

I found part of my hood insulation had been relocated to the air cleaner by mice, not enough to plug anything but still agrivating. ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |
