I know this is a little thing.....

But when I was washing the ol "99" this weekend, and getting her ready for winter and I popped the hood to clean the radiator and it reminded me of one of the reasons I liked the Dodge hood design. You can access and clean the radiator very easily. I know this is a little thing, but keeping the radiators, innercooler, trans cooler, oil cooler clean and free of bug and stuff is a good way to make these things last a long time.

Another good reason to buy a Dodge.

Very true. I tend to clean mine a couple of time a year.

If you really want to give it a good cleaning, try one of these.

Matter of fact... Everytime I wash the truck (about once a week) I will take a pressure washer and wash out the radiator assembly. Out here in Idaho the flys are big and messy.

I need to clean all the love bugs out of mine. But everytime I open the hood, the smell of burnt love bug is almost enough to make me throw up.
