    I noticed in the first post that the foam strip that seals the frame and the top of the radiator was missing. I always wondered what that was for and why it was there. Does that help more air not escape over the radiator and force it to go through the radiator? I highly doubt that's your issue, but just saw that foam missing and wondering?

    That foam strip was missing when I purchased the truck... I'm sure it served a purpose, but what was that purpose?

    It helps to keep the air directed through the radiator instead of up and over.And probably for a little isolation between it and the support.

    Makes sense... I can't find it in any parts diagram though, so I would have to use weather stripping of some kind.

    Just for kicks I'd put some weatherstripping foam in there and see if that does impact the engine temperature underway at load.

    Curious where you ordered the TRD cap from?
