P/N L1MZ-6A949-C Ford Ranger Lariat 2.3L I4 Engine Cover Fits the Bronco 2.3

@GoHack I installed one of these on my 2020 Ranger to dampen the engine noise and it worked well. My new Bronco has a sound-deadening hood insert. I am thinking about adding it again for looks and additional noise dampening. Did you notice any change in the cabin after you installed it?

I too have the sound-deadening hood insert as well.

As for the engine cover, it was installed after the sound-deadening hood insert was added, which already cut the sound down. but as for the engine cover doing any, I can't say that I notice any. That wasn't why I ever considered putting it on. It was to simply clean up the looks of the engine, and all the hoses everywhere, which I think it does.

I installed one of these covers plus the hood ‘blanket’. Used metric wing nuts from McMaster for quick removal. Might have reduced sound a bit.

Another mention on the Ranger Forums hint that the cover will help minimize water that migrates down to the spark plug threads, which cause bad corrosion & removal problems.

Yep. Bastards cost me over $2500 in damage to my F350 from their nest under the turbo catching on fire.

Every vehicle now gets electronic rodent deterrents installed right away.

What deterrents are you using?

What deterrents are you using?

I have this one on the Bronco: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081NDPJD4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

So far, so good, knock on wood.

The other vehicles have direct-wired versions that don't seem to be available anymore. I'm sure there's plenty of options on Amazon though.
