Cover
I got mine for 6.99 plus some thread 
. I wanted to buy the winter one from dodge but it was too pricy. They had a sale at the fabric place for some marine grade vynal, black, really thick and only 6.99 for 9 square feet. So I sewed up the edges, made a flap, put one some velcro to hold the flaps open and it works great. Your truck will get up to temp and run hot if your running it. it's when you run slower around town, or don't get to really work the motor that you won't see heat. I'll try to take a picture of mine if anybody wants to see it. I also punched holes and put in brass gromits where I tie it in. For not using hair scrunches (spelling) but will get some nice bungy cord and make it up nice. It actually looks a lot better and works better than I thought it would. Now I can use the 90 dollars I saved to put fuel in it = )
