The Dodge 4x4 grille is built to protect the many vulnerable parts and systems contained within the engine compartment from harm, shielding them against the impact of rocks and road debris that could cause them damage if allowed to intrude. A free flow of air into the engine compartment is necessary for the operation of the vehicle, supplying the oxygen needed for the combustion process and the cooling flow of air that is crucial to the engine-cooling system. For this reason, the front of the engine compartment is left open to draw in a supply of air as the vehicle travels.
The grille is placed across this area, designed to shield against the road debris and gravel that is constantly kicked up from the pavement by the tires of your vehicle and those of passing traffic, while allowing a good flow of air into the engine compartment. As the Dodge 4x4 grille works to protect your vehicle, it takes a great deal of abuse from these items, struck by rocks and road debris with every mile you travel.
The elements take their toll on the grille as well, the moisture of rain and snow, and the coating of road salt that comes with those snowy winter roads combining to allow corrosion to set in over time. This rough treatment can cause the grille to deteriorate, weakening from corrosion or becoming loosened by road vibration.
