Trucks nowadays do not need the guard as the water temp runs hot enough. I even read somewhere in a Freightliner manual to not use the guards on their trucks because it can mess up the (DEF) aftertreatment system.

I remember back in the day hitting deer and they would\n just bounce off the truck... now when you hit a deer there is thousands of dollars in damage...\n\nI wasn't talking about a radiator winter front, I was making fun of movie trucks crashing into stuff and nothing happening to them..."}
