6.0L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2003-Up Super-Duties and Excursions. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
Question is there insulation (sound, heat, etc) attached to the hood, I did have it on my 7.3L 250 but my 6.0 Excursion has none, but I bought it used. Am I missing something.
Also if you know a ford part # would be great, I have a bodyshop looking now, their system shows it in a picture, but not on the parts list.
I think they stop installing them from the factory after 03. I had an 04 F250 and my current 07 both didn't come with them. My buddys 03 had it.

You know my 03' 6.0 had it but my 07' does not, and all this time I thought my truck must have been built on a Friday and they just forgot a few parts.
FWIW, The Ford bean counters discontinued that on the 04 model year along with a few other things but to tell you you the truth I havn,t noticed any difference without it.

Well thanks, I am inquireing for a wierd reason, I have an excursion, it was normal sounding until I put in a stage 2 AFE Cold Air Intake (open Element and tube) now it whistles (annoyingly not cool like) when running about 55-75mph, I may build a box around the filter to direct the noise in front and funnel air into the box, but I wanted to see if there were any ideas?
I remember this coming up in '04 when most were not getting the under hood insulation. My '03 has it. Ford stopped installing them in '04.

I change oil every 5k (Rotella Syn. 5W-40), fuel filters every 10k (Ford Filters Only), air filter every 30K (Ford Filter Only), Changed trans. oil/filter & diffs. oils at 50K. Mostly highway miles & some around town.
From 5/23/09 - 6/19/09 At 62K miles & 9 months out of warranty, I spent $8K b/c of & getting this X fixed; 3 Ford Dealers in 3 dif. states replaced: EGR Valve, Cleaned Turbo Pipes, IAT,Map Sensor, ICP, VGT, (Cleaned Turbo -Compression ring still sticking), Replaced Turbo. On 6/19/09 I bought Ford Ext. War. 4yrs./48k.
The sound/heat deadening pad fixxed a lot, sound is so quiet, still a little whistle from the drivers side (intake has no baffles, duh) but I have made a template for a 2/3 wall out of stainless steel that i plan on adding to the AFE mount to direct the soudn forward and funnel the air (RAM AIR??)
