You May Want To Check Your Heat Extractor Nuts

[UAS Guy]

This morning I popped the hood to check the oil and wipe down any accumulated dust and noticed a hex nut sitting on the radiator shroud. I looked up and one of the heat extractor studs was missing a hex nut. I checked the remaining hex nuts on the extractor and found several that were loose. I went ahead and removed all of them, added a tiny drop of blue Loctite and reinstalled them. That should hopefully prevent that from happening again.

Funny you should mention this! Thought I was the only one.

When I swapped mine for the RTR extractor two of my nuts were loose (I know, I know, that's what she said) so the new stuff I put lock tight on and called it a day.

Nice radiator cover - really like the pony on there. Did you add that yourself as I cannot find a CF version with the pony on it.

Hi thanks! I bought both the cover and the pony on Amazon. You can view the radiator cover here: https://a.co/d/5QtKUjh and the pony here: https://a.co/d/9O033Nw

I found one loose and one missing. Checked on line OEM Ford parts and they want $20 for those. Anyone found an alternative source?

You should be able to get the part number from ford and google search an alternate.
