Claim 20:
21. A vehicle engine cooling system comprising:
a mounting frame comprising an upper portion, a lower portion, a right side, a left side, a front, and a rear, the mounting frame connectable to a vehicle frame;
a coolant tank connected to and supported by the mounting frame, wherein the coolant tank is connected to one of the left side or the right side of the mounting frame;
a windshield washer fluid tank connected to and supported by the mounting frame;
a cavity disposed inside the mounting frame and configured to receive a radiator core;
a plurality of front apertures disposed through the front of the mounting frame to allow air to enter the cavity;
a plurality of side apertures disposed through the one of the left side or the right side of the mounting frame to which the coolant tank is connected to allow air to enter the cavity;
a plurality of rear apertures disposed through the rear of the mounting frame to allow air to exit the cavity;
a first air flow path from the plurality of apertures disposed through the front of the mounting frame, through the cavity, and out the plurality of rear apertures disposed through the rear of the mounting frame;
a second air flow path from the plurality of side apertures disposed through the one of the left side or the right side of the mounting frame to which the coolant tank is connected, through the cavity, and out the plurality of rear apertures disposed through the rear of the mounting frame;
wherein each of the first air flow path and the second air flow path is at least partially in contact with the coolant tank to allow heat exchange between coolant in the coolant tank and air flowing through the first air flow path and the second air flow path.
