Engine cover (revisited)

[OneMore]

Don't listen to others. Good on you for adapting and using your imagination to find a work around.

To counter one person's argument about unused holes, just plug them with some rubber grommets or plastic body part fasteners for a more finished look.

That cover even looks far better than the factory one.

Thank you for your response.
It is still a work in progress. I added 100% wool mat to the underside in order to reduce reflective noise from the engine.
Excess holes will be addressed in the future.
Please do note that the cover has to be removed to gain proper access to dipstick and oil fill locations. Easily done in 60 seconds.

I really think Levittown Ford, a primary sponsor of this site should stop advertising this cover on line for $187.95 if they will not honor that price.

Hi Dave,
The cover is 188.92 https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/rangerengcoverkit.html

I am not sure what you mean by not honoring it?

Every time I put my info and credit card in, it replied there was an error. I triple checked and all was well. Did it again a day later, same problem. I did end up ordering on eBay, but just now I tried your site again. I didn't want to press the checkout button this time in case it worked, but I did notice $49.95 UPS shipping. Somehow, that alone does not seem right.

What's up with the colored lettering? Haven't seen that before. I like the red knob!

Just wanted a little extra bling so used paint markers to color the letters. The red "knob" is actually the oil fill cap.

You did a damn fine job painting, wow!

I am not really sure what the issue is without having your email address to possibly see what caused the declines. I checked the site for shipping and I see 37.27 before any forum discounts

Thank you but the only activity I can see is from today at 6:33PM which shows that you have been added as a new customer to our payment processor system Stripe (there are no actual payments). I am sorry you had trouble but in the future PM me directly and I will make sure we get you taken care of. We are in the business of selling parts so we want to ensure there are no technical barriers on our end.

Thanks,

Got to give Benny and crew @LevittownFordParts.com an "Atta boy!" Ordered the cargo tie downs from them recently. Zero website issues. Prompt response to my emailed questions. Quick shipping. Absolutely zero complaints.​

No price too high to create a comfortable mouse habitat. =p

Since you're getting deleted items, I list some on my build page. And obscure things like hood bumpers and hood side weather stripping too.

Then hood struts, bed tie-downs, center console organizer, body plugs, ... =D

Before

After

I got the same steps, and mine's a SuperCab XL, too. I sprung for a few upgrades, but she makes regular dump runs, too.

I got my engine cover under warranty yesterday. Granted I had the misfire issue back in September, my dealership tried to order the cover then, but of course it was going obsolete so that didn't happen. Surprisingly, they didn't close my case and now I have the "new" one and I'm happy with it. Glad they didn't just chalk it up to "oh well, the customer doesn't seem worried about it", but I also wasn't going to send $200 on an engine cover either.

Congratulations, and you didn't get gouged like everywhere else. I had my hood up today and was thinking how bad things look without the proper cover. Mine should arrive soon, yay!

I felt the same way looking under the hood. This is the first vehicle I've owned that I don't just randomly open the hood to look around and see how things are laid out. It's such a cluster under there. Glad to hear you're getting your cover, definitely helps with appearance if nothing else.

And all of this, just so you could increase the under hood temperature!
