There seems to be plenty of air getting through still even with the cold front on the grille, the area between the fog lights is open and that's where the aux coolers are on my truck.

Also, you can watch the "external temp" on your EATC (or overhead? with manual environment controls) to see how it's effecting temps in front of the radiator/A/C condenser.

Somebody needs to invent an electrically controllable "shutter" for behind the grille to let the driver open/close the shutter to control air flow..
Then we could really stay busy when driving..

Only if there is a PID to monitor the movement while driving...

Isn't the nex-gen F150 getting grille shutters?
