cold front

Looking for cold front grill blocks, what is the best and were to get, I dont want to scratch up my grill though. Do they work pretty well for heating everything up faster. Thanks

I had the lund ones on my 2 gen. They snapped in the grill. My buddy got one at the dealer that covered the radiator like a blanket. It helps alot on warm ups.

To be honest, I live in the land of -40 and I did buy the lunds for my truck when I bought it in 2003. I used them the first winter, and havent used them since. I did not notice any appreciable gain, there is just too much airflow between the grill and rad to make a difference. I believe and I see that all the oilfield guys here use canvas tarp over the rad and all the way under the oilpan to make a difference

Re

I just installed mine, and while I did not notice a remarkable difference, I DID notice a difference. Used to be able to hold my hand on the vents and could leave it there. Can't do that now. Hotter heat and slightly quicker warmup time. Call me crazy or imaginitive, but I suspect a slight increase in MPG. That would probably abate with warmer temps. But then, the grill would be off by that time. I bought a brand called Grillz. I got the four top inserts and the bottom bumper guard. Cost me 174 taxes in for all five pieces. Looks great, cheaper than Cloudrider. PITA for the install of the bumper guard though...

Dodge has a nice set for around $119. they go behind the grill so they do not stand out and they are in 4 sections so you can open or close them partially.
