They have covers designed for it with four triangular flaps that can open and close independently, but a lot of people just use a piece of cardboard.

May be some pics on line. They are easy on and easy off, have to climbs under truck to secure the lower corner clips.

Cloud rider makes stainless steel pieces that fit in the grill. I use them on my trucks. They make a slotted one for summer use too.

I myself like the oem version from dodge. It's clean. Since my best fuel economy is between 60 & 80 on the intake air temp. I close flaps to get me into that range. Usually anything below 10 degrees is just one flap

That is the one I have had for 7 winters, hoping to get one more winter out of it.

Where did you get that cover from? Most of what I am finding goes on the outside of the hood and I'm just not digging that.

I bought mine from my local dealership

Shopped a few of them and found out who was cheaper, it's amazing. How bad prices can fluctuate between dealerships in the same town
