Winter front?

Anyone make a winter front for 07.5 dodge 3500? Looking for a snap fit front.

Also, you local dealer has a MOPAR front that fits over the intercooler behind the hood.

My local dealer said MOPAR doesn't make one and they don't recommend it. I know I've seen one before!

I know that Dodge does make one as I bought one in back in OCT of 2006 and I have it on my truck at this time. IMHO it would be along cold winter with out it on. Oh BTW its not a snap front like many semi's have.

Wow! The Service Director at my local Dealer saw mine and wondered why more people don't use them...even here in San Jose, CA...

I have the Dodge one and would not want any other type. Ford and GM guys wish they could get a good cold weather front like this one, well worth the money.

I also have the MOPAR front and it is great. Easy to install/uninstall and easy to adjust the amount of airflow. I highly recomend them, well worth the $$$.

You guys make me feel a lot better after being told before I bought mine that it would be a waste of $$$ but I am sure glad I did it anyway

I got one for my '06 from Cabela's. It snaps on the front of the grill and has a screen for summer that I used this summer in the arctic. It came with stick on snaps which I replaced with screw in snaps, (the male part of the snap). I think it helps in winter.

I bought the winter front, battery blankets, block heater cord combo from the dealer. I love the winter front, and up here in MT it is really nice to have the battery blankets also.... Keeps everything toasty warm, and you only have to plug in one cord. I don’t have the part number for the combo, but if you talk to the parts guy and get your hands on the parts catalog, it is listed as a kit. I think I paid $180 for it.
