yes i am and i did a electric fan conversion on my truck as well,but that story is pretty compelling. i will test it little by little and see what happens i hope i can cover up most if not all of the grill

I'm sure you can cover most of it. Just make a part of it detachable for towing or heavy loads, since it's a truck. Just my suggestion.
