Engine covers
Are there coil covers available for the 2018 F-150 5.0 ? I can find covers for the 2017 and earlier but not 2018 and up. I found coil covers for the 2018 Mustang 5.0 but not F-150. I assume there’s more plumbing and components on the F-150 version so they are not compatible between the Mustang and truck version. Help !
Just so you know, from 2018 on has the high pressure fuel pump in the middle of the passenger side valve cover.
Also the coil for #3 cylinder is offset mounted and uses a short spark lead to a boot because the pump takes up room where the COP would normally reside.
The early trim cover won't set on the 2018 and later F150 5L engines.
Best to take a look at this.

I also feel that interfering with Coil cooling can shorten their life if that makes a difference. The fault often is shorted turns in the winding causing low output without a code set. That experience comes from a 4.6L engine without covers. They live a harsh life of wide range heat cycling especially after shut down in summer temperatures and engine bay heat rises after shut down then cooling begins. An 8" electric fan in front to the radiator on a thermostat set to 185 essentially fixed the issue over the long term of 15 years, after losing a bunch of coils for no better reason.
Good luck.
