The Winter Front and the ZF-6

[MaxACL]

I've heard others say NOT to use the winter front while towing, but does that apply to the Ally only? I mean I can understand the overheat because of the ATF needing cooling, but that factor being a no factor, could I, should I use the wind blocker when I go up north?

Unless it's below zero, you'll probably need to remove the winter front to improve airflow while towing, both for engine temps and to help cool the intercooler. Your fan-clutch could also run a good deal more with the winter front on while towing.

Thanks Jim

I'll wait till it gets colder. I'll also watch the temp and listen for the fan and see if I can see a pattern.

While passing through IN last week when the snow was starting, I did put the top wind breaker on and drove for ... oh... 200 miles or so and didn't see any changes. It was +30 and the trailer was 13,000+ lbs.

PS Anyone that gets a 6.6 with California emissions on it... good luck!
