Cool Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield?

Did the 02-07 Ram 4.7L have exhaust manifold heat shields installed from the factory? My 2003 does not.

It seems only the Dakota and Durango 4.7L had them? I'm wondering if mine are missing and if I need to replace them.

Not according to the parts manual, but that may be because the engine compartment is bigger than those other vehicles.

I was thinking the same thing; the heat shields are more critical in the smaller more cramped engine compartments to keep heat off wires and other components. None of the parts website with diagrams show any heat shields on 02-07 Ram 4.7L.

Thank you for the link! I saved that.
