Default RE: cardboard in front of the radiatior

I have a large pizza box, unfolded of course, in front of my radiator only. It slides right down inbetween on my 95'. Can't fall out either. Never gets wet, and it's against a huge heat exchanger anyway...lol.

All you have to do is remember it's there in warmer weather. If you forget, the truck runs a little warmer.

Good luck with your ride.

just make sure you dont put it infront of the intercooler. . .that would be a bad thing since the air being drawn into the engine actualy helps cool things.
