Subject: rethinking heavy truck radiators

Well, current radiator designs in use today may be the most cost
efficient, however with today's fuel prices, getting more miles per
gallon is more important. Relocating the radiator or modifying the
engine cooling system to allow bullet style front ends would cut wind
resistance and allow more miles per gallon?

Even a 2 mile per gallon improvement would be at least a 20% increase
on average. Maybe then we can stop having to con new truck drivers
into work by giving them decent pay, and not the average $5 per hour
starting rate?

How long are we going to survive on the Model T design?
