Hey all,

Getting ready to buy my first diesel, and asked the owner for pics of it (he is a fellow FTE Nor Cal chapter member) and he sent this pic of the engine to me. I know there is supposed to be a plastic cover on top, but I don't know what it is called. The truck is a 1995 F250 4x4 SuperCab, with the 7.3L PSD engine. Tried searching eBay for one, but since I don't know the name, was unable to find it. I am sure I could find it in a local JY, but was just curious as to what it is called.

It's just called an engine cover. Most of us take them off and leave them off.

 

I got a couple collecting dust.

 

Thanks for the info guys.

LOL, just noticed the pic did not post.

You've got about half of it there Jim. In my opinion it's really just in the way whenever I want to work on it, so the first time I had to pull it it stayed off. It hangs in my bedroom now. If you want one I have a buddy that may be willing to part with his.

 

Nah, I think I'll take it off when I get it.

The cover really is almost pointless. More of a hassle, like in most cars, in my opinion. They are mostly for looks, but how many ppl actually look at it, unless doing maintenance and it's in the way.
