My pad on my 2000 F450 7.3L needs replacing. This is original part number F81Z16738AA. It is discontinued from Ford.
Any search I did reviewers said they were too thin and not molded like the original. I only saw originals on Ebay but they are used (and torn. Whole point of replacing. Duh)

Does anyone have a source for a good replacement?

I think it's not very necessary unless you have a show truck. Country folks have critters chew those up in the winter so they don't last.
