Hood side seal

I just now noticed that I am missing the drivers side hood side seal (Ford Side Seal BC3Z-16A238-C). It's probably been missing since I bought the truck almost 4 years ago.

How important is this seal?

Well the truck hasn't blown up yet. I suspect it to prevent either rain or air to sneak in under the hood lip. My OCD would force me to replace it

Okay it's been a while since I have been under the hood of a 2016 and older. I am pretty sure the 6.7 trucks got the strip on the passenger side and the 6.2 & 6.8 trucks got the drivers side.

No gasket on the drivers side.





No seal there at all.

No one is calling you anything... I would have guessed I had the driver's side as well. I did not know until I looked...

Do it up! If the gassers have it on the other side, is the intake on that side as well?

Tasca website does call out the drivers side hood seal for the 6.7L diesel so there must be a reason it should be installed. I don't think its critical (obviously) but I'm going to install it anyway for sheets and grins.
