I do not use one.... but I only live in KC... it is cold... but not cold enough to warrent a cover for the front-end.

I use synthetic 5W-40 oil for easier starts and plug-in when it is below 30 degrees... and normally closer to less than 20 degrees.

Here is one I considered for summer and winter... but decided to make my own summer/bug screen from window screen connected to the backside of my grill (pics in my gallery).

However, here is one from Cabela's...

Thumbs up

Yup, runnin the White-Out Grill insert(pretty sure thats what they call it) made by Putco. Not sure if it helps with mileage, as I let it idle for about 10 mins before I leave in morning, But it does help the motor warm up faster from what I have noticed. Purchased from Truck Add-Ons.com, I also think they are a sponser here.

Do a search, we covered this pretty good. Put a FIA on mine (check my gallery). Warms up much faster! Haven't noticed a change in mileage. Been happy with it so far (about 2 months). Been having brutal weather but holding up good...
Bought it at a local shop. Google it,they're available on line for about $40.00
