cold weather radiator thingy muh-bobs
forgive me if its been answered. condemn me to eternal yotatech...somethin, anyways
what is the purpose of the cardboard or tarps or other things ppl put in the grill of their car or suv when it gets really cold. Is it to try to keep the cold wind off of the radiator? Then in turn this keeps the core warmer? i dunno Just curious. Thanks.

YuP You got it. DO NOT COMPLETELY block the rad or you will over heat. (You still need some air flow threw
If always opted to FIX the problem than stick a piece of cardboard infront of the rad. But I have a few buddies in that do that when it gets REALLY Cold IE: -37
