Yea it will, I have one i got from Lund, it's a cold weather grill insert bocks up the radiator so she'll warm up faster..... so far... I have noticed some decrease in warm up time, it's not a huge difference but it does help..... here's a picture with them in... (the cover above the ford logo is removed so you can tell the difference in appearence)

Anyone notice higher rpm shifts and torque converter lockup when the temps get low. Tonight it was -19 and I drove 6 miles at 2400 to 2600 rpm before the tq locked up.

Yup; there were similar comments in posts last week.

You had very interesting comments on mileage test in TDS today. There certainly was a huge effect from the chip and additive. Thanks for the detailed information.

I use a mailbox service so that when I travel they forward my mail to me. The owner is also a Warren. When I go in to pick up my mail the room is full of echos:
Hi Warren (Hi Warren) etc. etc.
Worse than that, I'm left-handed and so is he! Now, whats the probability of all that coming together?
