My 2003 Lariat did not come with a heat shield/fiber liner under the hood (directly over the engine). I have been told that 1) It is an option on 4.6 liter motors and, 2) They forgot to put it in. Can anyone confirm if their 2003 F150 with 4.6 has an underhood liner, or, was it not included? Thanks....Greg

 

My 2003 F-150 has the hood liner.

 

My '98 doesn't have a liner. I wouldn't want one. It'll hold the heat in the engine compartment and decrease performance.

 

My 2003 SCab 4x4 has the 4.6 and doesn't have a hoodliner.

 

My 00' 4.6L doesn't have one and I wouldn't want one anyways.

 

1999 Lariat, nothing on the underside of the hood except a small lightbulb.

Maybe it was a midyear change for 03 and you missed it.

 

I got one on my 01 and the nice little useless light...

 

my '97 didnt and my '03 doesnt

 

Don't have a hood liner on a 2000 4.6L Lariat

 

Had a '97,'99,'00 & now a '03 all of them have/had the 4.6 & none of them had any hood insulation. All those are good for is to attract dirt!

 

I agree with Tailgator! I had one on my previous Mustang. I removed it because it was falling apart. It was filled with dust and sand.

 

I look for a truck for about 2 months before buying. I looked at one that did not have a hood liner, all others did. It was a 4.6. Its like they ran out at the factory for a while?

 

2002 Supercrew 4.6 Lariat
Has the hood liner.

 

My 2003 F-150 XLT, 4X4, reg. cab. with 4.6L has the hood liner. Co-worker with 2003 Harley F-150 has one also. Another co-worker's 2003 F-250 didn't come with one, but he checked several others on the dealer's lot and they all had them.

 

All my trucks have had them.

Mine pisses me off though, because it catches the filter on the FIPK and throws all taht crap on it.
