I have an 03 with one, it came stock. Did yours not have one? Maybe they think the 6.0 is too quiet for one. I would say get one if not, they hold the heat better when plugged in.

If Ford's rolling em off without the underhood insulation kit,it can be purchased separately I suppose.
On the cold cold nights I cover the hood with one of the heavy packing blankets,helps some with the overnight Oil/engine heaters.

Bill - Just having fun: How cold does it get in Texas? If it hits 0 degrees F here, I think that is cold. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] However, for the members up North, 0 degrees F is a warm day. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well I confirmed with the dealer today that any of the SuperDuty's or Excursions rolling off the line since mid December will NOT have the under hood blanket.
I expect to take delivery in a couple of weeks and contacted the dealer to see if they would install it as a missing warranty item at no charge. The only answer I could get was to pay 160.00 for the part so they could install it.
I thought I would write to Ford customer service tonight and see how far that gets me.
Has anyone else been successful in getting the dealer to install this at no charge on a new delivery and if so how?
Regards;
David

My kids tell me they don’t think I’ll ever grow up. Damn I hope not, I plan staying a kid forever.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how many plastic push pins are needed to install the hood insulator on the 04 Excursion.
Every Ford parts department that I talk to has no idea.
I guess it would make to much sense for Ford to include them as part of the purchase on the insulator.
Anyone know a good source for discounted Ford parts? The dealer wants 160.00 to install this item.
Thanks for the assistance.
David

Yeah it's 16F right now, friggin' BALMY! I was told the blanket was for sound, I didn't believe it & this is the first time I've repeated it. As far as keeping things warm, I don't even bother pluggin' it in til -30F. It always starts. 4 weeks ago snowmobiling up in Canada, it dropped down to -59F, the first time I ever plugged it in & needed too.
