Yeah I even remember it when it was new. I've had mine since it was new in 1998. Still got the window sticker. It had a fiberglass or cotton filled battery blanket around it. Ford calls it a heat shield. Probably helps a little but not tremendously. I figured it might be worth adding if I can find one. I think the one I just ordered was for a 2004 Ford Ranger. It should fit. It's the same battery and the same hold down so it has the cut out for the hold down block. It was only $20 so I gave it a try. The 98-2001 are all discontinued.
