2021 question

[Vipersinu2]

Makeyouloco 2021 f150 has the engine cover.

I am saying some pencil pusher messed up the sku for engine cover on the assembly line.

The dam tabs are on your intake to attach the foam cover.

See makeyouloco new 2021 f150 truck

Did you happen to get a part number?

it was 152, I ordered it from my dealer, but I used for pass money to buy it. It one of those things i would not have replaced it if it came with it stock, but as long i am buying one i might as well buy a nicer one......

I dont understand why a 80k vechical doesn't have a cover!

The cover retails for $72.00

Come on, ford is getting that for 10.00 bucks.

In my opinion its a messup.

Especially if the f150 are getting a cover, the expedition should be getting a cover!

My point exactly! If this is cost cutting, they are desperate. If it was due to shortages, then they should be telling customers that day one and tell them they will ship them once available etc.

That cover is new for the new generation F-150, it is not the same as the outgoing F-150 cover

3.5 ecoboost hasn't changed

I dont understand your comment?
The 3.5 ecoboost did not change in size.

That cover would fit a 2021 3.5 ecoboost expedition.

That cover pictured above is not used on a 2020 and below F-150. It is only for the 21+ F-150. It’s not hard to understand lol. Ford decided not to outfit them in the Expedition.

maybe they quietly discovered that's why we've seen a few F150's and Expy's catch on fire in the past few months.

I have my old one if anyone wants one, you'll just need to buy a couple nylon insert nuts if you studs don't have the nuts on them. Just cover reasonable shipping (let me know if interested and I'll try to find a box and see what shipping would cost).

Also, if you're interested, I replaced my original one with the ford performance cover, part number KR7Z6A949A. When I ordered mine, it was around $110 plus shipping, but that could have changed.

This was discussed in the F150 forums when it was discovered as well last year. If there was any association to engine fires, you would see Ford issue a TSB or recall immediately. That would be negligent and a serious lawsuit. The fact the new F150’s have them again tells me it’s a simple and not so obvious cost cutting measure that the majority of owners won’t realize. Even if the part was $1 and another $1 to instal it, when you are making millions of vehicles it adds up quick.

I was being a bit sarcastic, I'm guessing it's made of a fairly un-combustible material.

And I do believe it's more likely a cost cutting thing vs. supply issue, but the point was there are tons of other things Ford could be doing to save costs. Starting with quality to help reduce their warranty related liabilities. ~$4B last year I believe - 2x that of GM. And everyone keeps saying millions of vehicles. I tallied up all current sales of the 4th Gen from public sources, and we're at around 231k vehicles. So as another use stated, they probably pay $10-20 for the covers, that roughly $2.5M. I realize (and this is an opinion alert) this is a sensitive subject, but $182M in bonuses for hourly employees sure seems like a good place to start. Every business I've worked for didn't do bonuses if the business didn't hit its numbers or if they needed to reinvest profits to help build a better business (and thus keep jobs, or maybe even create more).

Anyway, I'll give it up. I don't want to take away from the original OP's piece.

Just picked up my 21 and no engine cover. Anyone have a good source to purchase one?

The part number is JL1Z-6A949-A (for 18-20... can't see it being different on the 21). Good luck finding it in stock though - there's a reason Ford isn't putting them on at the moment.

Do I just need to buy these two parts. The cover and two of the nuts?

Plenty of Ford parts sites will let you add it to your cart. Call them though and I think you’ll find it’s back ordered.

I just did the ford performance one because it looked better, but I did need to trim the passenger side back corner to make it fit

Did you buy the fasteners for the two studs in the front?
