Engine Cover Kit Discontinued??

[bsr956]

The part I like is that it extends up under the two piece cowl so that water runs off behind the motor.

How's the access to oil dipstick & filler neck?

I was diagnosed with ALS last spring, so I can't even get up there to look. My brother helped me install it earlier this year when i was getting around better. I'll have to get him or wifey to have a look. Either way, it snaps onto the brackets with rubber grommets, so no tools needed for removal.

Finally remembered to ask my brother to look and the oil cap & dipstick are accessible.

Damn. Wish you the best. Sending good vibes your way.

My dad developed ALS. It's a mystery disease since there doesn't seem to be a genetic link, and we wondered if it was exposure to something that triggered it. I hope you can manage it for a long time.

Mine is genetic (C9ORF72). A company announced this summer that they were able to shut it down in the lab with CRISPR, but commercialization is years out and won't be ready in time for me.

My dad also had ALS and they linked it to Vietnam moved him to 100% VA disability. The VA was great through the whole process.

First I've heard of a genetic link for sure. It was not something anyone in our family had before.

I don't know if I'd want to know if I had some genetic disposition for it and while CRISPR sounds promising I just don't know? If mRNA technology was more advanced it might be useful too I suppose.

All I can say is it must be frustrating. My dad often said he felt like his body was betraying him. Tough to watch a guy who was very active fade away like that.

All you can do is whatever you can to stave off the muscle wasting and neurological deterioration as long as possible.

Our experience was the same.

Went to buy from Benny and also called my dealer (tremor getting first oil change and some goodies with FordPass rewards). Looks like no more engine cover kits which stinks. Should have ordered it back in January. Argh!
Dealership says they are listed as a discontinued part from Ford.

If you find one they’re three times what they initially cost. I’m so disappointed and I feel that this has changed my mind about buying another Ford.

$173 at Levittown. Contact Benny, you may get free shipping.

If you have doubts about a company because an accessory is temporarily of stock,
just buy a bicycle.
