The new rangers have a cover/insulator over the high pressure fuel pump.

[Figarou]

I never actually looked closely at mine until today, we do have a cover already, but it appears they either removed this one or they installed the (new design) cover over the existing cover and bracket.
Bracket Purpose? - Protect the pump is my guess.
I hit it with my Stethoscope and the bracket actually enhances the sound (makes it resonate)
so, I am thinking they added the cover over the top of the whole thing to tamper down the resonation as I cannot see engineers removing that bracket.

A quick shot of mine on my 22

I see the same part number in the 1st post. It hasn't been removed.

I would do that but I need several sounds to select from depending on my mood.
Supercharged 5.0
The Fart sound.
Poorly running Model T.

The tube/fuel line assembly is not the same. Look closely at the 1st picture. It looks longer so it can have space for that cover.

Ok, I dug a little deeper and I should have done this prior to my last post.

I looked at the 2024 Manuals, they indeed added a newly designed cover over the whole assembly.

Ref: The Pic below, to replace the HP Pump they have you cut the cover (as depicted)
and below this cover is the bracket assembly and the existing HP Pump Cover.
So, the PN posted above is for the same cover we already have installed (the smaller cover)

So, the first post P/N appears to be the correct PN - just cannot find a true parts pic of it in the IPC's.

And if you are paying close attention to what that cover is covering.
It is covering #4 COP

So will the rainwater drip on top of this and roll off? or still find its way down the sides and end up in the same (well)?
Either Way - They are addressing it with this cover - will it help?

I dug deeper, and pulled up - COP Replacement

It appears that it mounts down over studs, like the engine cover, they do not have you cut it for this (COP Removal)

The Manual Calls this: Fuel Pump Shield
Note: It mounts over the existing (as installed) parts and covers #4 COP

 

[airline tech]

Decided WTH - Ordered Cover - $64.95 Shipped, could have picked up locally (30-Min) drive but it was only $10.96 to ship plus $53.99 for the cover.
Will dive into how it mounts when part is in hand, and go from there for extra studs etc (req)
As the IPC graphic in the first post - is not clear, I think you can just install over everything but requires disconnecting the fuel line or cut a slit for it.
Will post follow up - when I get the cover with an actual pic of the cover (not installed)

Ref: Attaching Studs

I checked on the truck -
it appears that the Pass side of the cover - fits over an existing stud for the wire harness (attach point)
The Drivers side - attaches to a (need to install) stud on an open threaded spot.

Being that I just happen to have extra (studs) from my engine cover install, I am covered on that.

Again, need to get the cover in hand - but looks like an easy install, the fuel tube will have to be disconnected unless I slit the cover, and the fuel tube is also flexible, so clearance will not be an issue.

So, it just sits down over the studs, which I do not see really making any difference if they are there or not as its going to be wedged under the fuel tube anyway.

The only drawback - is going to be when replacing the #4 plug or coil, as it currently is you can get the COP off without disconnecting the fuel tube.

With the cover (unless) you cut a slit, it will be required.

I will add that I am doing this not so much for the noise, but an extra layer of possible prevention of water in #4 well. I have not had any as of yet, but if this reroutes the water in any way, it's worth the investment and the price is not that bad., and if this is like the Engine Cover - the price will be double or triple in a year or so.

I paid $60.00 for my Engine Cover in Nov 22 it now goes for $140.00 just 2yrs later.

Waiting for your assessment on the cover as I've ordered just about everything else on my 21 Lariat!!

If you find the pump noise that bad go ahead and do it, if you're worried about water I'd do the JCR cover and rubber edging I did a post on, it works very well.

It's a better solution than adding more mouse food to your engine bay.

My question is....are the studs for the engine cover and the fuel pump cover the same?

I did some digging of my own and it seems the studs are different.

These are the engine cover studs.

And these are listed as the studs for the 2024 Ranger

I hope it DOES come with studs. If not, and the ones for the engine cover are to short, you may have to order these.

That IPC pic does not show the installation studs for the (New Cover)
The IPC shows the studs for the existing HP Pump & Cover (Only)

It is lacking that information

I don't know what happened, but my post got cut off and auto posted before I was finished. GRR

If you Ref both of these pics, you will see the mounting points.

New Cover IPC

2022 - IPC

The 2022 has an existing stud at location HB2 (in the 2022 IPC) the IPC has is as a bolt
Verified (on truck) and has available threads for the (Nipple Top - Special Stud)
2022 - PN: W720386S450B

The 2024- Location: HT2 - PN: W721333S450B

So are far as the studs go for this location - it should not be an issue.

Now the 2024 (IPC) does not appear to show the other stud (next to the HP Pump)
But the 2024 IPC - (6A957) does show the (Nipple Top - Nomenclated as - Special Stud)
and it lists as 2-part numbers, being that one looks longer than the other.
I am almost certain that these are the correct PN's for those.

Special Stud: PN: MB3Z6A957A & MB3Z6A957B

Now the other stud not depicted - I am suspecting that the engine cover stud will fit, or the stud listed on the passenger side (fuel tube clamp mount)

 

[Fitzmotor]

I ordered one, I figured it can only help, being an engine guy, the noise bothers me, the chatter the pump makes is poor design I think.

I wonder if all the 2.3 EB make the same noise. It should be able to be addressed, I wonder if it's the lash on the roller lifter, or maybe the lobe profile. I do know the big steel bracket that surrounds it acts like a speaker, it's quieter without it, but it's a safety item, so it should stay.

Ok....the other picture you provided helped out a lot. I can clearly see where it goes now. Thanks.

Here's a higher resolution.

Decided to order it myself.

Discoveries like this is what drives up the price and cause some of these part dealers to be out of stock. Soon everyone will be ordering. ?
