Grill block is a good idea... if you make it out of foam (e.g. pool noodles), then you can press fit it in the grill and if it ends up being too much (scan gauge tells you the water temp is too high... above 215*F for instance) then you can easily slip it back out again.
over 2000 miles. Savannah, Asheville, Birmingham are 3 of the stops & thinking about cutting through Tennessee also. I was thinking about coroplast(spelling?) cut and zip-tied in place. Yes watching the temp but thinking that mostly interstate there will still be enough air to stay under 200*F. Should i block the opening if front of the innercooler too?
