My 04 (7/03 build date) has the blanket. My 02 Harley F150 did not. There has been some speculation that many of ford's hoods have paint blistering problems due to excessive heat from lack of shields. Also the hoods are aluminum (at least on the f150, not sure about f250)

Consider this approach.....

I think I have to argue with my dealer first, since every truck had insulation when I ordered last November 6, 2003

Something along this line may well help out. Of course, said in a very calm and composed state will also help. You may have to be abit agressive, though.

Just got lucky today. My freind has a 99 F550 PSD and the turbo hose blew off in 99 and cut the hood insulation. They gave him a new insulation assy., which he threw in his barn for the last 4 years. He said to get it out of his hair because he was too lazy to change it. I offered to take the old one because it had a 1" nick in it, but he said it would look better if I had a new one! The box does not include the retainers, but NAPA has the for $4.69 per bag of 10. Needed 13. Part # for the insulation was: F81Z-16738-AA (sorry no price)
Now all I need is the glove box light to shut me up!
