well my truck doesnt like the cold....at all. cant ever get the thing to warm up and stay warm. so i bought this guy witch i am suprised they still make. works wonders!!! just thought ide share for the people with cold winters.

 

Where did you get it? Been seeing them on newer Ford's, and I hear ya, took the truck out for a spin and she'll get to Operating temps...but cool's down quickly.

 

I let my grills go natural! I let them babies blow in the cold wind and hang where the the good lord wants them!

 

 

yepp.....i always use one. Made this last year.


And it unzips in the middle and snap open...

 

We have to use one as I'd suspect most people in this country do. My cooling system is all brand new with Motorcraft parts and it's just too darn cold now. It will open the thermostat without the cover then drop right back to the bottom and stay there. The heater won't even try to work without it. I just made one a couple weeks ago out of some goat blankets and double sided carpet tape on an old cracked grill I had. Now my wifes feet will stay warm and that is a good thing.

 

i got it from napa

 

I had these "cold weather grill inserts" on my last PSD



... But like an idiot I sold them with the truck and i think Lund stopped making them

 

those are nice! its getting harder and harder to find stuff like that for these trucks. every quit making stuff for them

 

yea, the inserts are no longer made...at least what I searched on Google...Cabela's has the Fabric style covers...but feedback on who they attach to the grill/area was somewhat lacking in security. ...I think remembering someone posting that they take their fan off? True?

 

Try a search for winter fronts.

Lund has about dropped the pre 1999 model trucks.

 

A lot of owners run without the fan. After I put in the 203 , it was too hot in the cab ....

 

That isn't a bad idea...might save a finger or two, as much as we are poking around, checking stuff...

 

If you have so heater issues try to clean your heater core with CLR, disconect it then put a couple off short hoses on it and fill the core with CLR and let it soak for about 45 min. I did two vehicles last weak and it made a big inprovement in the heater performance. I do my wifes car every winter.

 

I run a grill cover on both my PSD's. I think they work great. I got the new one (new to me truck) through autoanything.com and it is a Fia. It looks exactly like the one I got several years ago from Ford. Even comes with a summer screen to keep out the bugs.
