I spoken with the owner a couple times making sure he knew a new one would be required to cover the EB rad. Sounds like it won't take too long to be ready.

Got my bug screen already and just installed it. Took all of 5 minutes. It uses small bungee cords to hold it in place. No tools required.

Thanks again for the thread!

Been using mine for a while now. Keeps the bugs off the fins, for sure. Only caveat - on the driver side right upper side, there is a plastic piece on the assembly that can rub a hole in your screen. A strategically placed piece of electrical or duct tape on the screen will resolve that problem. Otherwise, a great product.

Just ordered mine. When I traded in my 04 F150 with 107K on the clock, the condenser looked pretty bad. I'm sure some of the efficiency of the condenser was lost as a result. This should help keep it in good shape.

Thanks for the info!

Decided to take matters into my own hands, since going on 1000 mile roadtrip in next two days.

This is my first attempt at a DIY mod, so bear with me.
FYI i have an apartment not a garage, so no "workshop" remarks!
and I also work an evening shift so was doing this late at night, i'll post a daylight final product asap
