If it did you'd see and hear a lot more people having issues. I can't say for 100% sure it doesn't because I don't have one on my truck but I'm 98.5% sure it does not impact cooling in any way. I've ran a winch on a few Jeeps and never had an issue with cooling due to winch placement.

Ford performance says the winch will have an effect on air flow through the coolers but nothing specific or how much effect it has.
