Anyone use a winterfront?

Just wondering if anyone uses a winterfront on their SD. Starting my first winter with my truck, and noticing it does take a while to warm up when it doesn't have a load of any kind.

He's talking about a front screen to block air going to the radiator. It allows it to warm up quicker when it's colder out. I'm in Missouri so it doesn't get cold enough here to need one.

I use the stainless grill inserts, seems to make a difference, and the quilted vinyl winterfronts work even better..... Laka, with it as cold here in calgary as it is now, I'd be putting something on..... canadian tire can order you a winter front and have it the next day....
