Re:Winter Fronts

Not sure if your dealer will have them. The few dealers I have been into around here have had them. There is a summer and winter version available. They are not a Mopar part, but aftermarket. Mine were sold as Stainless Winter fronts.

Didn't really give you much to go by but hope it helps.

Re:Winter Fronts

Did you have to drill anything to install them? How well do they work?

Re:Winter Fronts

I have the black plastic Lund pop in kind (no drill). They work great and 3 fill up the grill completely and the fourth fills in half to keep the tranny cooler open with a 6 X 4 inch area.

In Minnesota, they are very helpful to keep the engine temp up when running on the highway. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. They came with my used truck when I bought it and use 2 top ones when 20 to 35, 3 between 10 and 20 and all 4 when below 10 in the morning.

$100 Canadian is around $13.40 USD ;D

Seriously, I have the LUND SS too....they work pretty well. They are called Lund Cloud Rider and come in a winter version and an all season version. And you do not have to drill anything. They come with clips that mount on the honeycomb of your grill. Lund make plastic fronts as well. Eric Buckel on this site makes plastic winter fronts as well for like $30.

lots of guys still use the old cardboard behind the grill....cheap and effective.

Our dollar's doing pretty good lately. It's actually about $13.50. Here's a great money converter site http://www.xe.com/ucc/

I use the cardboard trick. I cut a 6" hole in the middle of it. Slides in behind the intercooler and in front of the rad. Stays put without any fasteners. The intercooler stays nice and cool. Works great except for warming up the outside temp sending unit a few degrees.

I just got my Fia winter/bug screen combo. I have noticed a big difference in temp and heater air temp when it was below zero with 30 mph winds last week.

Do you have any pictures of your pickup with the winter front on it?

Re:Winter Fronts

These are made in Canada, they might be the ones all the folks from up there are talking about:

That's the manufacturer's website. One guy I know told me Canadian Tire sells them, but that doesn't do me much good here in KC.

Re:Winter Fronts

Fia winter front, yep it's a little low due to bug shield.

More pics of entire truck on page 54.
