Thanks.
Thanks.
You can probably adapt some sort of light from a salvage yard car. If it has two wires try hooking one to the light positive lead and the other to a home made (from strips of copper) designed and mounted so that they make contact when the hood is opened. If one wire, use the car body as the ground. Experiment, you can make it work. Also the wire on your hood is likely not fused so you will have to figure that out also.
Field Day was a day when we cleaned up when I was in the USMC.

If you replace the drain plug before changing the filter, the dirty oil that was in the filter doesn't drain.

For those whose trucks did not come equipped with the hood blanket, and have since ordered and installed it, does it make a difference? Is it worth it?

I work for ford, so get a good deal on parts. But the pad lists for 81.60. Its really too large to ship, so you have to get it for what you can. Retainers are about 1.00 each.
If nothing else it will keep some heat off of the hood.

It has happened to a few, it is far easier to fix yourself on things like this...........sounds as if no problem for you.

I'll have to check and make sure it is still there. They replaced my turbo bracket Friday.

Had my F350 to see the dealer today. They are going to install the front part of the rear wheel plastic fender liners, install a hood blanket, (3, new F350 XLs on the lot "had" them) and a hood light (it was wired, but no light. It's part of the Decor package). They also turned the top radiator hose so it does not contact the intake pipe, good call, thanks.
Very impressed at their service, Ernie Von Schledorn in Lomira Wisconsin.
Not so impressed with Ford. In this day and age of automation and inspection I didn't expect the comsumer had to be part of final assembly...
Makes me wonder what else I'm missing. ???
