[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16180866, member: 9628"] I took the original heat shield blanket out of my 2008 about 5 years ago and stored it away, it was in perfect condition. I had my Ford parts friend order me a new replacement, I noticed the original from my 2008 was a little bit different from the replacement, so I put the replacement on my battery and stored my original away in the plastic from the replacement. I have watched these cars for wayyyyy too long, I know that if something is found to not be needed in automobile production, it gets deleted.........bean counters at work. And if it is there, it is there for a reason, no matter how quickly it deteriorates (Ford is also in the replacement parts selling business). <<This was also the case wayyyy back in 1971, I noticed small inexpensive changes between the 3 1971 429 Mach 1's that I owned at the same time and could do stare and compares. Un-needed items get deleted or cheaper/less expensive items to do the same thing would get added. I also noticed that with most all of the big block cars in a smaller body/engine compartment, they got heat shields (plastic back then), to help shield heat away from the battery in that smaller confined space.
