I would really like to hide the ugly mess of hoses and ducts like this one for a 3.5. Any sources? Aftermarket is OK if the quality is good.

BTW I messaged Muslogy with a request for a new product from them.

Thanks,

Not my topic of expertise, but another thing to consider surely is the extra trapped heat issue if you add a cover.

Any decent cover will have adequate ventilation slots, like the one in the first post. If you were concerned about heat buildup (racing in Baja in 100 degree temps), it would probably be prudent to take it off. For most owners it shouldn’t be a problem. IMHO.

Engine cover least worry for heat build up. If anything it will protect your hood better.

I've looked at this and the biggest problem is the intake tube that runs across the top of the engine. It makes any sort of cover tricky.

Found one from Thailand, but is every bit as ugly as the exposed hoses.

I don’t know, it’s not near as cool looking as that first one pictured from the 3.5L EB.
But if this one fits our trucks, I do think itā€˜s better then looking at the rats nest mess we see now.
Would love to see pics of this cover installed on an actual 3.0L Ranger Raptors engine.

That opening on the left, which i assume would be for the oil filler cap, is on the wrong side. It may be for the diesel and not compatible.
