Looking for Under-hood insulation?
The factory insulation basically denigrated off my hood, now the paint is starting to blister a little. Where can I find aftermarket insulation for under the hood?

Yea I took off the insulation a few weeks ago and its already a significant difference. Those two weeks are worse the five years I've had it!! I think it might have been the recent rain causing rapid change in temperature.

I would think about leaving the insulation off. I think one of the reasons the 3.0 is blowing head gaskets is excessive heat. The new 4.0 doesn't have insulation at the hood -- instead it has a plastic cover over the top of the engine, and the sides are open with lots of space. And yet, it's nice and quiet.
But if you insist on insulation:
