Dude you were totally robbedSo…… not to keep bringing up the subject of missing engine covers, but when looking under my hood, I noticed mine is not there, but also the hood insulator! OMG!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!?!?!?!???
My 2000 F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab with a 7.3L Diesel Engine has an engine cover. Do you really think that it is there for noise suppression ? Have you ever tried to quiet down a 7.3L Diesel Engine ? Only way is to turn it off, BUT, it will still pull the house off of its foundation without even trying. Engine cover is actually there for heat retention and to keep what dirt it can off of the engine, just makes changing the diesel fuel filter a little more difficult since its mounted under the cover.That’s about it.
Imagine the noise that could be made in this thread if I said what I really want for an engine for this thing? A 3.0l turbo diesel. With a transfer case and low range. And no sound deadening. Not even a, gasp, engine cover.
Now that would make some noise!

I'm with @ZeroCool on this, you might want to go back thru this thread to find some suspects who were upset and now have one. Just saying it's a Bronco and there's a guy who might be able to help...Dude you were totally robbed
All I see is a beautiful Area 51 beast!
Was at the Dealership yesterday to pick up my All Weather floor mats and cargo cover, my salesperson said that Ford has been putting the covers and hood insulators on the early production models more for show than anything. "Makes it look Sexier" My biggest concern was the heat on the hood paint, and he said that he/dealership checked with the body shop and Ford, and they said there is not enough heat to effect the paint.I'm with @ZeroCool on this, you might want to go back thru this thread to find some suspects who were upset and now have one.

That's probably cause most paint has a 300° F threshold before failing. Not sure the engine heat gets the hood as hot as the hood sitting in the sun on a 115° F day in Vegas summertime. Cause when I experienced that I needed a glove to get in the car cause it was so hot. In addition when you drive the air you force over the hood is generally cooler and reduces the heat on the hood.Was at the Dealership yesterday to pick up my All Weather floor mats and cargo cover, my salesperson said that Ford has been putting the covers and hood insulators on the early production models more for show than anything.

Obviously aliens must have taken them in the night because Ford wouldn't have left them off, oh, never mind, yes they did! Just get some therapy and everything will be ok.So…… not to keep bringing up the subject of missing engine covers, but when looking under my hood, I noticed mine is not there, but also the hood insulator!

Wow! You got the fancy shmancy Outer Banks and it doesn't have an engine cover? My lowly Big Bend came with one. If I was you, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night from the outrage. ?So…… not to keep bringing up the subject of missing engine covers, but when looking under my hood, I noticed mine is not there, but also the hood insulator!

Personally, I really don't care they are not there... I just have fun "stirring the pot" ?in here.That's probably cause most paint has a 300° F threshold before failing.

I don't think I ever mentioned that I have an early model that came with both, but I COULD NOT GIVE A CRAP if it was there. When it matters I'm gonna be bitching it is there in the end when I have to take it off to access wires and or engine.
But to each their own, just like the hundreds of people putting mudflaps on... It was the first thing I took off, just extra area for mud and snow to accumulate. In addition they reduce approach and decent angles.
This thread has successfully made its way into other threads too.Personally, I really don't care they are not there... I just have fun "stirring the pot" ?in here.
That made me cackle ??@KodiakMomCrawler and@everyone else Remember those dodge commercials where people were asking is there a hemi in that?
I guess now we’ll just ask our fellow bronco owners is there an engine cover in that? Lmfao
