vipersinu2 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Why no engine cover on the 2021 models? Did someone forget to add that sku in the build process to add an engine cover? Or cant get it from china? You can see the intake has the tabs to accept the foam cover. One would think without that cover, that fuel pump would be really loud. plus looking ugly without that cover to trim off the engine look! It looks like a mistake to me off the assembly line. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Cost cutting. They did it on a lot of vehicles the last couple of years. And I’m pretty sure the fuel pump is in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisy as heck. Look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just the injectors that were noisy. No official confirmation from Ford on cost cutting but I can’t imagine any other reason.

Since you don't want to hear that it's a cost-cutting measure, have you found other 21's, the same trim level as yours, with the cover installed? Looking up on the parts sites, they only list for 2018-2020. https://www.bluespringsfordparts.com/oem-parts/ford-engine-cover-jl1z6a949a?c=Zz1lbmdpbmUmcz1lbmdpbmUtYXBwZWFyYW5jZS1jb3ZlciZsPTEmbj1Bc3NlbWJsaWVzIFBhZ2UmYT1mb3JkJm89ZXhwZWRpdGlvbiZ5PTIwMjAmdD14bHQmZT0zLTVsLXY2LWdhcw%3D%3D HRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying some pencil pusher messed up the sku for engine cover on the assembly line. The dam tabs are on your intake to attach the foam cover.

See makeyouloco new 2021 f150 truck They do stuff like that sometimes. My new fusion should logically have an engine cover like most other 2.0 engines but it doesn't and yes, it is a cost cutting measure. They did the same thing with the 2.3 in the Mustang a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipersinu2 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) If the f150 3.5 has a cover. The expedition 3.5 should have a cover. In my opinion Ford messed up, along with the seven thousand f150 sitting for inspection.

Expedition is also due for a refresh next year so they'll strip away anything they can that's not absolutely essential (like an engine cover) to get as much as they can out of it in its last year. Not saying it's right but it is what it is. Not everyone does it but the big 3 are notorious for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc D. Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 2021 Lincoln Corsair also lost his engine appearance cover. Disappointing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something that 99% of buyers don't know or care about. It's frustrating for those that do but it's nothing to get that upset about - if it means that much to you go buy a 2020 cover or get your dealer to throw it in. Also please watch the language. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie eaton Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Found the same thing on my 2021 xlt expedition . Had a friend order me one from ford . $64 and change his cost . Problem solved!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rethorn Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Maybe they considered the cover as a non-essential part that's why they removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddakoske Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Should be interesting to see if the MY22 ship with covers. The videos showing pre-production models have not had covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
