Lots of horsepower but the extra attention you get from the ladies could be annoying.

That is funny!

I think the attention is from the sewing machine sound.?

I built my wife a long arm quilting machine using a modified Brother industrial Sewing Machine. I will tell you my wife and I both made the same comment when I turned off the fake engine noise. Those high pressure injectors are LOUD! And between the stitching and stepper motors running, the sounds are very similar.

Levittown has the new cover listed at $187.34, not including bolts and nuts I presume.

Way too much for a mouse house.

Way too much for a mouse house.

A mouse trap installed on the grill housing would be the economical way to go...renew the cheese every oil change!

But think of the little mice and chipmunks that need a place to live.

Such a cold hearted person you are.

Way too much for a mouse house.

Mice matter.

Mice matter.

That must be what they leave behind in all the spark plug wells ?

Happy new engine cover day! We’re finally here! Mamma Ford has bestowed us with new engine covers straight from her teet for sky high jacked up prices! Comes with a new letter (-C) and a new price tag but don’t worry it’s “discounted”.

*Also, I’ve seen it mentioned that the TSB for getting a free one has been been pulled so don’t go pouring water on your plugs outside the dealership yet.

I have an appt. to have a new cover installed next week. Already had a plug replaced from water damage. It a warrantee. Can’t believe they “need” the truck for the day.

Save your money. The damper adds way more hp/tq at 1/3 the cost. Add some Graphene and it'll cut right through the wind for even more hp. ?

You guys think that price is wack...check this out (CDN$).....

This is from a Canadian Ford dealer in the GTA.

Yikes - where is this dealer - I want to steer clear.

Service mgr must open hood to visually verify the cover is not there.
Then he must verify that the vehicle in question deserves a cover.
Then he assigns a Master Tech to the repair, whom then comes at the beckoned call or the mgr to pick said vehicle up from service desk area.
The Master Tech then gets his "team" together for the upcoming repair and assign the tasks to be performed.
One tech to start one attachment part.
Another tech to start the second attachment part.
A third tech to snug and tighten them down.
A forth tech to check the torque on the attachment parts.
Fifth tech to place and center the cover.
Sixth tech to place nut on first attachment part.
Seventh tech to place nut on second attachment point.
Eighth tech to snug and tighten the nuts.
Ninth tech to check the torque on the two nuts.
Tenth tech to check that proper paper work trail was completed by tech's 1 thru 9.
A check by the quality control mgr to make sure all work was done to Ford standards.
A test drive to check that no additional noise/rattles/bangs are present from the repairs.
Hopefully none found but if there are, steps one thru ten must be repeated.
If finished on a Friday afternoon, customer will be notified to pick up vehicle the following Monday.

And, that's why it takes a day......

This shouldn't surprise anyone who has had to buy anything for their Ranger, starting with the truck itself.
