Keep in heat would be my guess.How do we explain that on some cars the diesels get a full undertray and the gas engines none or just a splash guard that stops at the sump?

The splashguard arrived in good order. We’ll install it next time my son brings his truck over.Here is the area that I will be covering up. You can see the two bolts in the front that will go through the splash guard. Still waiting for it on Amazon and will install it in the new year. The A/C belt is the lowest belt, from the A/C compressor to the crank pulley.

Here is a pic of the the splash shield I installed. Sort of like a before and after. The shield came from Summit. In this photo it looks like metal, but it’s black plastic. It’s actually 3 dimensional and it's pretty obvious part of its duty is to make sure the area behind it is a low air pressure area to increase the efficiency of the electric fan attached to the radiator.

My BMW has shield. But, it has nice “doors” to open to change oil. Front differential is protected by steel plate that is separate from plastic shield, so one has to drop only that to change fluid. Gear box has its own shield so, just drop that.On the Rubicon and Tahoe you can change oil/filter with shields on …
Fusion Hybrid? Have to remove a kitchen table.
Grabbed this handy set yesterday at O’Reilly’s

Amazing the difference sometimes … obviously the Rubicon is well protected underneath … yet it’s a dream to change fluid on. Only the X-fer case fluid will drain on the steel guard … but that heavy Reynolds foil works for that …My BMW has shield. But, it has nice “doors” to open to change oil.

Very practical. VW on other hand, I need to take out some 12-14 screws to get shield out.
Toyota doesn’t have anything under, which is ridiculous considering how low it sits.
My MIL’s escape had ducts as well. I wouldn’t remove that one. I’d be more apt to do so on the F150.I’d be leery... my 300’s panel had ducts to direct air into the front brakes. Might get some weird wind noise as well depending on the vehicle.
