lol.... that's just a side benefit. The main purpose for the shroud is to direct airflow through the radiator when the vehicle is sitting still or moving slow instead of the fan just swirling in front of the radiator

My 98 has been bucking a little bit a cruising speed for the last couple of weeks so this morning I replaced the spark plugs, TPS (genuine MOPAR) and gave her an oil change. On the short drive home, everything seemed smooth, time will tell.

lol.... yeah but then you gotta contend with the perpetual after-effects of mud fun....

I used to work with a trucking company with a badass diesel heated pressure washer. Had several angled heads - that thing MELTED grease, mud, whatever you pointed it at basically

Heated pressure washers are expensive as hell though

Yeah, no joke.

I've heard of some people that try attaching the hot water hose from their washing machine, but I would imagine that once the water is compressed via the pump, it just goes cold again.

are you asking a question or making a statement? I have trouble reading your posts sometimes. They are like cave paintings.
