Underhood blanket?
Just had a quick question about my new, 5/11/04 build 250SD powerstroke crew cab Lariat. I was wanting to know if if it was supposed to have an underhood blanket (insulation) ? Mine does not,, but I have seen some that do. Thanks for any information you may share.

I have an 04 (04-28-04 bld) Lariat 6.0 PSD with all options except dual generators and spoke with dealer and investigated on this site. They did away with underhood blanket. Acutually not in whole but it depends on builder ID #. They also did away with the glove light, and front door ajar lights, you know when you open the door, those red deflector lights. I had a F-350 dually, v-10, XLT and it had the underhood blanket, glove light and red reflector door lights.........

I think Ford has eliminated the skirts in the wheel wells too for model year '05. Saw my first '05 on a local lot the other day...I know it's only plastic, but the absence of those skirts really cheapens the overall effect! Does anyone know why Ford did that, and if I order an '05 is it an option?

Big Dually I can't find any info on those but I believe they were deleted as a cost saving measure.
dieseldriver it does look like they got rid of the shields from in the rear wheel wells.
I hope we dont start having a whole bunch of tail light wiring problems etc because of it
