Yep, Ron you are so right. Folks that have been following this thread, please
be very cautious about blocking anything that depends on air for cooling. My
truck is a Manual trans, and has no PS cooler. I am also very aware of what
temp the engine is operating at. I would not recommend this type of "fix" for
everyone. If something were to happen, and it overheated bad,(warped head,
cracked head ect..) your warranty may not apply, probably won't. Just be
cautious when fooling around with your cooling system.

Intense Blue! Thats an idea,;) or make some adhesive panels to block off the
grill. I put the cardboard between the AC condensor, and radiator, so you
can't see it in there.

In racin' we call this "Qualifying trim"!
What color is your truck Matt? You can get color matched Duct tape and
cover over the grill openings!
