So I picked up an OEM grill cover to put on the truck this winter. Does anyone have this? What do you think of it? Does it mess with the fins on the condenser at all?

 

Ive got one, there are a bunch of others that have them too. They are pretty nice. Ive never had a problem with mine on the condenser fins, just be careful when you put it on and take it off. Oh and dont wait until it is cold out to stick the velcro on the truck, it doesnt like to stick when the metal is cold.

 

Thanks. I need to pull it in the garage this week and warm it up and stick the velcro on.

 

I did not use the velcro on mine and it works great, best money I have spent at the dealer.

 

Well worth it no aftermarket comes close....

 

Got it installed today.. other than the holes for the bottom clips being occupied by my fog light wiring it was very easy to install.. I really like it..

 

put mine on today ..it snowed here today also going to have temps below freezing tonight.

 

Did you have to empty the lower clip holes as well?

Yeah we got snow last friday, and its been cold. The main reason I put it on this early thou is Elk Camp.. I am hoping it stays cool enough this week I don't have to take it off before hitting the hills.

 

I haven't hooked up the bottom yet did not want to lay in the water. will get r done tommorow. I think I just hook where ever i can.

 

My holes are occupied by my foglight wiring too, but I never hooked the bottom up. I rode around all winter with it like that and it was fine. The wind pushes against it, keeping it in place.

 

Yeah, I thought about that.. but pushed the fog light clips out for now. I went to drill new holes but cant get my drill in there with my front receiver...

 

Curious how much did you have to pay at the dealer?

 

IIRC just over $100..

Played with it a little this am. All 4 flaps open and 30* out, warmed up a hair quicker, but IAT was no warmer... so on the way back from the tire shop closed 2 of them.. IAT was 20* warmer than normal and truck warmed back up much quicker...

 

what is the part number of this cover so i can get one sounds like a good one.

 

For those with the factory bug deflector, you may find in certain conditions you get a really loud wind whistle on the highway with the winter front on and the bug deflector. I take my bug deflector off in the winter as the whistle can get really annoying. I know others on here have had the same issue.
Not sure why but removing the bug deflector solves the problem.
