Radiator Damage
Tell me if this is a bad idea or not. Bought a 2012 xlt supercrew in october. 5.0L, chrome pkg, & 4wd. On my old f150 large bugs or debris would hit radiator fins and bend them over. As time went on i had many spots of bent over fins. Is there any type of screen material that would protect radiator better, but still allow sufficient air flow to cool the truck? Probably looking for something better than screen door screen! Thanks.

I made my own bug screen from a $4 bug screen that I bought at Walmart.
FWIW, that is the fins on your AC condensor getting bent and full of bugs. The radiator sits behind the condensor.
