Cold Front Kit?
I'm in need of some advise (for a change 
)...... I'm wondering if I need a "cold front kit" for my 00' Stroker? It basically "blocks" some cold air flow from the engine by covering part of the grille. I know that it makes the diesels heat up faster. Many school buses and 18 wheelers have them who are in cool climates. Since it's getting cold here, and I use my truck as a daily driver I'm wondering if something like this is worth while? I know that engine damage can be created by shutting down while truck is still cold, however I shutdown usually when the engine is at normal temps. Does anybody else have something like this?

Thank you guys so much for all the help you've given me in the last 2+ years!!!!

well, when driving, does the needle (yes i know, idiot gauge) rise up to normal operating temps? (halfway) if so, then i wouldnt worry about it. but if you rarely get over the cold mark, i would get one. OR, get one, and if you keep hearing the fan come on as a result of high heat, take it off. i personally dont like the look of the cold fronts.
