Anyone know where to buy one? Does anyone make them to fit behind the grill so you can't see if from the outside?

 

Been looking for something like that myself. Have the chrome bar grill as opposed to the honeycomb. Haven't seen anything that will work with it. Looks like I'll hafta manufacture something myself. Not overly happy with the big ole piece of cardboard plan.

 

Cabela's sells a cover, go to their web site and search for Winter Front.
Fastens with adhesive snaps tht attach to the grille the way I read it,
I have been thinking of checking one out, I may go to the local Cabela's on Saturday and see what it looks like.
It says it has a Cover for the Winter And a Screen for the Summer.

Retail $39.99 + shipping if you don't live close to a store.

There is a good picture of the item at their web site

 

This mounts to the front and covers up the chrome, plus you have to put ugly snaps on the front as well. It would be nice if Mopar made something that fit behind the grill.

 

Here is our CHEAP solution..

One half of a ceiling acoustic tile (size may very)
One black plastic garbage bag.
Wrap tile in garbage bag
Seal bag with your choice of tuck tape
Place on inside of grill
Attach with twist ties of your choice.
For aesthetics make sure tuck tape faces radiators.

Cheap and darn near invisible.
Reusable. And Works

 

My local dodge dealer sells a winter "package" that consists of a winter grill cover and battery wraps (insulation). call your dealer.

 

That one runs about $179.
You can get just the winter front for about $119, that is if you don't need the battery blankets

 

I wouldn't advise a winter front because you'd be blocking all the air going through the intercooler. I instead took a piece of cardboard, with about a 8" hole in the middle, and placed it between the tranny cooler and the radiator. Seemed to help it get to normal operating temp (about 190) faster and keep it there.

 

I know...a big old set of thermostatically controlled shutters...no, wait,
I was thinking of a different truck.

 

I bought my winter front at my DC dealership.it was about $100 bucks.It fits behind the grill.It has a opening in the front to let air flow through it,or you can close it.They just came out with them this summer.Part # is 82208646.coobie

 

I have a Lund "Cold Front" on my truck. It works pretty well and goes on easy with clips and bolts. Takes five min to put on all 4 pieces. Just black plastic. Temps do come up quicker. Not fast enough, but better. I think I paid $30 something for it. -Steve

WELL..... if you are that concerned about a few removable plastic snaps go here http://www.alaskatent.com/index.htm

They make one that goes behind the grille....but wait you have to drill a few holes, now those are permanent holes I am talking about so that might not be for you either !

 

I have the Lund cold front also. Does go on easy and helps with the warm up. Lets the chrome show and does not block all air flow.

Had reflash done so cruise control can be used to create fast idle, about 1100rpm. Also had remote start install to give those extra minutes of warm up time before I go out the door.

All of this helps in Upstate NY.

 

I've got the DC model, it's a little spendy but it's great. It goes behind the grill and I only had to install 2 velcro strips. Everything else was elastic straps. It also has a nice big 4 piece flap in the fron middle
