Man, never underestimate the value of tidying up a little - good progress. The Silverado of course is the highest option group, but that was a well optioned truck since it had a hood blanket. I've never been sure those are a good idea though, so I don't think you'll miss it. It seems like I would rather let the heat out of the engine compartment than not hear the engine. With all of the air that flows over the hood it's inevitable that it would draw some of that heat out if there wasn't a blanket keeping it in.
