Condenser/Radiator Screens

Check out WindTrapper on the 'net if you want to keep bugs/gravel outta where they don't belong; I put one on my '04 Explorer.

A window screen is real cheap and works well.

It might be cheap but I'd be concerned about adequate airflow thru it. When I'm using the evap cooler in my garage, there's quite a difference in airflow when the screen door is open/closed.

Never had a problem using a screen. I've even used them on the V-6 chevy motor that was notorious for overheating. No-screen = over heating. Have screen = no over heating. The window screen will not reduce airflow on a "clean rad" IMHO.

These vehicles were used for driving through 4-6 foot tall prairie grass, crop fields and anything else. Lots of dust and grass pollen. A screen works.
