Ford finds out that the engine cover was causing more eng. heat. To improve the engine longevity they removed the foam cover in later models. Also improved parts sales. ROTFLOL

Hello Rangers
I found the engine cover%,studs, and nuts at oem ford parts fast; https://www.oemfordpartsfast.com/
Tasca, Levittown, and one other were out of stock and unavailable.
I thought the company, Sam Galloway Ford, was in Texas but the parts shipped in two day from Ft. Meyers FL.
So maybe this will help out if they have more in stock. The shipping was a little steep but it's not Amazon and shipping prices still exist.
Good luck.

If I remember right that’s where mine came from. His prices are darn reasonable.

Why does it say it won't fit a 2022 Ranger?
Wonder if they omitted mount points on the new heads. 2 fasteners to hold this on. As far as I’m aware we all have mount points for there weather we have them or not

Mine is a recent 22 (July)and both mount points are there. I messed up and only ordered one but I had a perfect spare in the parts box. I just said it was a 21 and the order went right through. I didn't give them my vin.

So, I wonder if my 2023 will have the "new" cover that someone mentioned? I may order the one linked in this thread just in case.

These will become just like the TM switch before it, scarce!

Let's get that nose checked:) You don't want to go through life with a malfunctioning nose:)
That's a very good point and I ought to also keep my nose out of other people's business. =D

Do keep us informed on this rather odd situation.

Now I wonder if I should remove my engine cover? I'd be pretty peeved if they ever said I voided my warranty and extended warranty because of it.

That's weird, I put a kit on my '22 and it fits fine (and gets all the babes too, plus more HP!).

I got mine from Levittown and it was the only part number I've ever seen for it.

You people are absolutely freaking AWESOME!!! At least a few of you did call Armando! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!! Not sure what happened, but I got a call from Armando, today. My pickup is ready and washed and the warranty is being honored 100%. I'm at work, so they are dropping it off at my house! Armando got a kick out of the calls because it appears everyone was polite? (i hope). I'll post pictures when I get home today. Again, thank you!!! Even you trolls:)
I originally came to this forum to get ideas for rim, wheels, storage and racks. I found my center console vault and phone holder, as well. I didn't expect to find actual backup?!?! I will be a much more attentive member of this forum, from now on. (I'm gonna say it, again; thank you!!!)
Wow, so you've gotten all squared away? That's fantastic! =)

The other part of this that makes absolutely ZERO sense is that the whole POINT of the TSB is to address this exact issue - as it comes up!

This dealership is playing you HARD. The TSB is literally there to address water/condensation getting onto the plugs and from what I know, Ford doesnt perform any TSB unless the problem is present. I.e. if you didnt have water on the plugs when you took it in, they wouldnt give you an engine cover.

This is 100% on ford, and they've admitted it. Unless we're missing a big chunk of the story, this is exactly WHY the TSB exists. Go to another dealer. This is a ford issue.
Have a look. It’s crazy…

I'm not sure what I can do to convince folks that this is real. However, it feels very good to know that no one can believe it's true! I feel vindicated, some
Was wondering what happened to this saga.


Seems as though I really missed out on the fun the last few days.

If anything the invoice you shared should quiet the last of troll defenders.

Glad you got it all squared away!
