I have discovered that I now drive around plastics and other bags and things in the road. :)


If it isn't broke, I haven't fixed it yet....

I agree with the last poster. A screen solved the issue for the dirt accumulation. Mine runs steady at 180 and goes up
only during the oppressive Florida heat in the summer accompanied with stop and go traffic. Thumbs Up

I use one of those 'Swiffer' dusters with the extended handle...fits nicely in the gap in the shroud. I use it every oil change and yes, leaves and grass will stick to it. A flattened Sonic Route 44 cup is an entirely different animal, tho'. Ermm

I covered the lower opening with black plastic window screen. Custom cut and installed. Works great. No overheating in Florida summers.
