Keep heat where it belongs and protect wiring, hoses, and the cab. CPP Diesel stocks turbo blankets, exhaust wraps, clamp-on pipe shields, reflective barriers, and heat sleeves sized for the 1998.5–2002 Ram 2500/3500.
Containing turbine heat improves energy retention, often sharpening spool and reducing under-hood radiant heat. See BD 1453522 or CPP T4 Blanket.
Most owners wrap the downpipe first to protect nearby wiring/AC lines and reduce floorboard heat. Start with a high-temp wrap like Thermo-Tec 11006.
Slip on heat sleeves sized to the hose OD, such as Thermo-Tec 14005 or PPE silicone-coated sleeves for abrasion resistance.
On clean, flat panels (firewall, trans tunnel, airbox, intake tube); see Thermo-Tec Gold Barrier or adhesive tape for hoses/wires.
Yes—use the flexible 2' x 6" shield and trim/position for best coverage.
