This is just something new I learned on the airflow over our engines. This is just for informational purposes. Thought I would share on this thread. This guy knows these trucks as good as the engineers.

After a one mile drive this morning, the only place the frozen snowflakes melted was where warm air came out of my hood vent ?

The area on the aluminum hood in front of the air vent, is melted as well.

He knows the trucks as good as engineers, but he just figured out vents are functional? A little bit of melting snow means it's functional?

Give me a break.

Lol
Where's that pic of your engine cover?

I'll post one tomorrow.

It's the ford engine cover you can order from your dealer or online.

That's the back and would makes sense since that's where the warm air is going from the hood vent.
Thanks. I was just following up with the video I posted here were the guy showed us this to verify that the vents are functional, not just for looks. I would have never known that honestly.
