Plus underneath a vehicle like a truck, you have exhaust to contend with. It's proximity to said exhaust could heat the engine more.

In addition, you would have to engineer a way to get the air to pass through it to cool as a traditional radiator does which could make the airflow under the vehicle more turbulent that it already is perhaps hurting FE.

This is all speculation of course ...
