[Shotimes] RE: Overheating

[James White]

There is a small air deflector screwed to the subframe.  Black plastic.  It
is fairly easy to have it knocked off with all of the truck tire crap on the
road.

Make sure it is still there.  If not fabricate something new out of an
aluminum angle commonly found at your local home center.  3" X 3" X 3' to 4'
long is OK, attached with about 8 #12X 1" self drilling screws.  This helps
direct air up to the radiator, because not enough air can get to the
radiator (unless you have a police grill) to get proper cooling unless there
is something at the bottom to help the air go up.
