I'm going to ......do a write up on it's removal and call it the ScottDad.........
That don't even look factory. Looks like some sort of sound deadening stuff. Could it be something after market for sound control?
I think it should be call "GitRidOfThatUlgyCrap Mod" LOL

Your right, It took all my 'been awake for 25+ hours and still got to go to work yet', brain could do to get the first part down in the right order.

Dunno, mine is an XLT. I have seen it on a couple of other trucks. My '99 didn't have one. It's factory as it is form fitted to where it goes. It starts just behind the battery and then goes all the way back to the firewall./ Covers all of those aluminum (A/C?) lines and stuff along with the vacuum pump.

Hmm, Let us know if you can tell a differance in anything with it gone. Might really have a purpose, who knows. You know I have heard that Ford has a better idea, maybe that is it.
