New (aftermarket) Engine Covers

[Dr. Zaius]

No effect on longevity, looks good.
BUT...if you had used a "Ford Racing" emblem, it would have added horsepower !
Everyone knows that !

I see chrome on the emblem, so power was definitely added

So basically, it's a frying pan for the engine.

Can't edit my post so sue me.


I suppose if one could find some heat resistant foam or rubber to attach to the underside, you could get some sound dampening action. I don't think it looks out-right ugly, but for me it still looks odd and out of place.

$140 price is too much for me to buy for the sake of trial n error.

Well, if it was dancing I would say @Tracy Bowman had a part in the design…

Looks more like a Blackstone griddle ?.

Any old Soldier should be able to attest that the engine block is where you put your MRE packets if you don't have the included heater anymore (Because you made an MRE bomb out of it ???)

I drilled a couple of holes in mine to mount the emblem - used gorilla glue. Wondering if this will have an effect on longevity?

Only on your warranty. It just went from 5yr/60k miles to 5 min/60 meters.

Any one see these yet? They make a 2.3 for the Ranger. I can't decide how I feel about it. I like choices but I'm still holding out for something new from Ford.

JCR Offroad Engine Cover $149 (Sale Price)
- looks cool (at least better than bare, imo)
- should last a long time
- free shipping

- does nothing for sound deadening
- reminds me of the muffler shroud on a lawn mower
- still feels like it's missing something

Color options?... I asked supplier ..

Me too! Mini griddle under the hood?

True story - My FIL had been known to wrap the roast/potatoes in aluminum foil prior to a long family vacation road trip so it was warm and ready to eat when they pulled into the roadside picnic areas.

I also asked for pics of it installed on Ranger5G. They said hopefully by Monday.
