2019 Hood insulation
I bought a 2019 crew cab 6.7 in NJ. I live in NY. I installed a block heater since NY trucks are considered the cold climate. If anyone has a truck bought in the cold weather climate designated by for does your truck have the hood insulation as well? Mine does not have it. I'm not sure if that's is how Ford decided to add it or not to these trucks. I was thinking of adding it (HC3Z-16738-a & N808842-s for the plugs. Shipping seems crazy so i got a price from my selling dealer of 120.00 . Just not sure what the benefits would be other than a nice look when you raise the hood. Thanks Jeff

Block heater and insulation (IMO) really are a thing of the old generation diesels. I live in Michigan where its normally 10-20F in the winter, and never need Block heater (has one installed). I've done remote starts at -20F no problems.

There is a thread on this at https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...nsulation.html and it does not appear there is a common factor for the hood insulation to be included in the Super Duty.

2019 F450 STX CC 4x4 here (built 9/19), and no hood insulation in my truck. Chalk up another win for the bean counters......

yea....I'd like to see some evidence to that fact. Not disagreeing there might be some amount of wear, but enough to actually matter? How many cold weather starts before causing measurable wear? The reason they were put in years ago was for old science diesels that blew white smoke for the first 15 minutes of operation because of how the engines were designed. Had nothing to do about wear back then.
