Welcome to the Forum.
In the 6+ years I've been on here I don't recall anything about a screen ever coming up. Perhaps your user name should have been Bugslayr.

well I live in the country up here in ND,I am a farmer and this will be driven on country roads and along sloughs and lakes, the fish flies, bees, bugs of all type will plug this radiator in a week,I have had screens on all my vehicles since I can remember, when the screen gets full you hose it off,I don't believe any one hasn"t plugged a radiator from bugs on this forum.guess I'll look elsewhere or come up with a remedy on my own, thanks though,I was hoping they made a custom fit one.

I bought a roll of aluminum screen and use it. Cut to size and chickenstrap it on. Replace or wash as needed. I like to use the aluminum vs the fiberglass.

I've seen that done years ago... don't remember where I've seen it but yes, it would go on the front of radiator to stop the bugs from getting stuck in the radiator cooling fins. Aluminum would be the way to go... great idea.., glad I read this on the forum today... forgot all about it.
