2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Grill Cover?

New truck here with only 361 miles. She already has lots of bugs in the front radiator. What type of things are done to prevent this.



Thanks,

Some folks get a black mesh of sorts and place it on the grill - looks bad though. The alternative is to lift the hood and hose it off when you wash it or just when it needs it.

I just go to the hardware store and get a roll of screen. Zip tie it up. I take it off in the winter before it gets too cold and hose it all down. It's cheap but effective.

Ditto here on aluminum screening from the hardware store mounted under the hood and zipped tied near the corners. With the hood closed it's hardly noticeable. It's cheap and effective... easy to replace if needed. You'll be amazed at the stuff it catches and keeps out of your radiators and coolers.



A 36" wide roll is almost perfect when cut to an appropriate length to reach from the top to the bottom of the A/C condenser.
