I was wondering if anyone could tell me which part i need ( Splash Guard ) to go between the front radiator to the first cross member where the engine is ? I want to close off the bottom gap because a cat is getting up and sleeping on top of may motor .here is a diagram but i have no idea. Also some pics of the underside between the fans and the front engine cross member.
Ford does not sell a plate for that area for the regular trucks, You can either adapt the Raptor front skid plate to your truck, or buy an aftermarket front skid plate.
If all you want to do, though, is keep a cat out, I'd suggest getting a roll of aluminum flashing and bolting/screwing it in down there.
One caveat: A plate down there may impact CAC temperature if you have an eco. While the Raptor has a plate, it also has fans on the CAC.
it is number 8 in your diagram. Mine also fell of so I cut the rest of it off. In order to replace that piece you have to raise radiator and disconnect trans cooler lines..... not worth it. I have 2016 5.0.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I think i will make one out of heavy duty hardware cloth (1/2 squares) or something like that so the 5.0 can breath. You are right all i want to do is keep that darn cat out
#8 sits between the bottom of the bumper and the radiator support. OP is asking to secure the bumper support to first frame crossover bar. That area remains open on all except the Raptor.
