Underhood airflow dynamics can be weird. I've seen some guys install flaps in their shrouds that open at speed to allow airflow, then suck closed when the fan activates.

I'll be driving the truck this weekend. It's supposed to be 102* and I have three 6% mountain passes to climb, so I'll report back on how it does.
