Hello Everyone, My New 2022 Reg cab Short bed 1500 20230112_132126.jpgarrived after 8 months.
So I opened the hood and there was no top Engine cover. It's very noticeable because the mounting brackets are all there.
I asked the dealer about it and they said Ram has been omitting engine covers. Has anyone run into this? I wonder what else they are omitting?

Well, now I am going outside to see if my new 2022 classic has a engine cover.

Yep, wonder if you can still purchase one and put it on though.

Yes, This was built in Mexico. I'm going to check E-bay to see if someone from Mexico is selling engine covers with Quantity available: 3000 "Buy it Now" Ha!

It's my understanding that they stopped putting the covers on too. I don't know why. I took mine off a few years ago to just see what's under it and the fuel injectors are louder with it off, so it does serve a purpose. I put it back on afterward and it's been on since.

Mine was built in warren MI. If everything is there to install one still I guess I am paying for a engine cover and hardware for a brand new $51,000 truck lol

Those covers just give rodents, etc, a nicer home is all. I like to be able to see what's going on. Especially if they really sell those things for ~$170. Good Lawd.
But when you open the hood, you don’t have to tell people, yea, it’s a hemi haha

I can tell by the photo it would be a plug and play. those two little octupus looking suction cups at the front of the engine fire wall is where they slide into.

In the salt belt any protection counts
I do a lot of trips to Moab and they do help keep the sand out of all the nooks. One trip I thought I would leave my cover off one of my jeeps because I had read they retain engine heat and man did I have a lot of sand around the manifold etc.

Interesting, on MY 19 DT truck, early build (built Apr 2018), I have the Cover and my ECU is mounted next to the battery, not on the RR firewall. stockairbox3.JPGstockairbox1.JPG

I see that, more so concerned if the 2 screws needed will have everything there. & whatever else
