Yes, I like that a lot, but I read the PB doesn’t have the front holes on the frame where that nut clip is used. Seems like that could become a rattle point…
Simply bend the tabs in a bit before install (preloads them against the frame) then glue / double sided tape a small piece of rubber under it. Additionally they can be bent out a little bit but that promotes small sticks / pinestraw collecting behind it.

I’ll have to give that a go. I looked at a website that had the cover for $112 but they want $130 to ship it…. I could darn near get the PB specific RCI trans and cat covers for what they asking for the Raptor cover….

I searched the part number and then clicked the first 10 places that sell it, added to cart and calc'd shipping. Found a place where shipping was $25. Furthermore if it's a ford dealer as many are, they may be able to ship directly to your dealer for free via the intra-ford parts delivery they do.

How much more does the metal one weigh versus this crappy one?

Mine is dropped to.

Thanks to this thread and one other on this forum, I learned about the metal plate...I ordered the full Monte today (plate, oil access panel, and nuts & bolts) and lucked out and got a decent price of less than $180 out the door. It'll be one of the first upgrades I install on my truck.

Wish I had known about this panel during all those oil changes on my 2017...I came to be very efficient at moving the factory 'diaper' out of the way to do an oil change, and diligently putting it back...never had any issues with it, although it was a bit of a PITA to move to do an oil change...with the metal plate, it will be much more efficient to do an oil change, and have the added peace of mind of extra underbelly protection...

Some people don't get the the small access panel for the drain plug, but I did. It's not bad at all removing to get to the plug. I think it's worth the price knowing that you have complete coverage on you under carriage.

When I looked at the Talon website, I thought it said specifically that their plates are not compatible with the Powerboost...? Regardless, due to the large cost difference, I will probably get either the RCI or the Ford Raptor plate.

RCI sells plates for the PB, they range from a little bit cheaper to little more expensive. They have metal or aluminum.

Ya, I looked at the aluminum trans cover plate for $399, and right now they throw in the Cat plates for free.

Yeah, what you said...plus, my OCD tendencies would constantly niggle at my brain if I knew the oil panel wasn't there...lol

I thought someone here was giving away the files for the plates so you have a laser / plasma cutting company simply produce them for you???? Might have been another part.
