4.6 Liter, 2003 models don't have Hood Liners?

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

Question

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.

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.

Hood Liner

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?

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.
