COOLERS

Extra oil cooler-Police

installed at the grille. Such devices will reduce airflow through the grille
and could potentially impact the cooling system performance.
The 4.6L engine has an engine oil cooler mounted below the radiator fan
to maintain safe engine oil temperatures.

WHEELS/TIRES/BRAKES

Wheel rims-Police

To withstand the demands placed on vehicles driven under heavy-duty
