Special insulation was included on the following optional packages...
K81 COLD CLIMATE PACKAGE
B3J DIESEL EQUIPMENT PACKAGE

That does not mean that Custom Deluxe or mid trim level trucks came with it when they were ordered without the K81 or B3J option packages.

Only the YE9 trim level {Chevy Cheyenne Super/GMC Sierra Grande & Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra Classic} included the special insulation.

Insulation was not part of the Base, Z62, or Z84 trim level packages. If you look at the SPID or build sheets on trucks with the lower trims and hood insulation you'll likely find K81 or B3J.
