Even more awesome in person
Ya know, I'm used to places like GMPartsdirect always killing you on the S&H, so I guess I'm not surprised to see other online GM dealers doing the same.
I looked up when I ordered the insulator pad for the 2006 Silverado SS - it was September 2016 (!) looked up the part # on whatever dealer site, then found it on amazon. GM 15844375 $147.30 and FREE shipping, then $9 somewhere else for a sack of the correct retainers. That part # is discontinued now, of course. (BTW the amazon seller it came from was a GM dealer in Scottsdale - Van Chevrolet)

I actually did see some elsewhere for about $450.00, but still a joke. I’ve got many years of laminating experience, and I’ll do it myself for under $50.00. That’s material, glue and new retainer clips. Of course I’m working for free, but I’m retired.

I have used it, far superior to the 3M stuff.

Edit: The Wurth product is 3 can minimum and $25 EACH! Not Wurth it.
I would’ve, but 3 can minimum. Crossing my fingers on the Thermo-Tec, it is rated for higher temps too.

Never used to see their products outside of shop use. They had traveling salesmen going shop to shop. Maybe still do. Alot of their stuff is top notch. Some of the best drill bits I've ever used.

We had a bunch of Wurth at my little brother's place. And yeah, a rep would come by and try to stock us up on all kinds of stuff, a lot of it we didn't need. Out there on the shop floor selling to all the guys. Definitely a lot of high quality stuff. I think all I personally have left from it is a utility knife and some notepads..

Run your GM part numbers through Summit's site. The plastic airdam under our bumpers is usually $100+ shipping, but Summit sells the piece at the same price and if you add a few bits to get it over $120 the shipping is free. Note that I tried "15844375" and it comes up as a Chevy/Pontiac/Saturn blower motor. What other numbers apply?
The only factory style formed insulators I’ve found are either Genuine GM 15712036 or LMC. And they just might be the same part. Summit only has the fiberglass pad.
Another joke from

$669.59 I’m convinced they really don’t want to sell these.

GO DAWGS!!!
What about the ABS under hood insulation kit w/ logo from LMC? If I’ve tried to keep my truck as stock as possible, would you go with aftermarket/custom look under the hood or no??
