New (aftermarket) Engine Covers

[Muddy Fenders]

Just my opinion on "fixing the leak"

This does not fix the leak. It band-aids the issue. Much like adding the Ford cover does.

I personally am wrapping my engine in a glad garbage bag to keep the water off of it because I choose to not fix the root cause issue.

Think about using some heavy duty aluminum foil.....
Won't melt, and you'll always have a ready supply of body patch material should you need it. Probably thicker and stronger then the OE body panels.

Make sure to use hat grade aluminum

More noise volume means more HP !!!

Wait until it works itself loose and rattles like the muffler shroud on an old Toro lawnmower.

Get outta here! Holy crap!

"Transparent aluminum is used for manufacturing bulletproof glasses." as in eyeglasses?

Thanks for the link and this will be on my mind for a long time!

They show to be for 4th Gen 19+ but if you enter your year 19-22 they don't show a cover. Is the 4th Gen and 5th Gen the same?

I had noticed their 4th gen reference as well.
The picture they show is a 2019+ engine bay.
So I believe they have simply made a mistep on the generation

Just got the new engine cover and also ordered some Hot Pepper Red spray paint to paint it with. Need to wait until the weather warms up but I think it's going to look graet.

Make sure, after the install, you dyno the truck to see what HP gains you got.

Already gained 100 HP just by painting it, I'll report back the final HP results after it's installed.

Looks good! Anxious to see it installed.
