Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler

The cold fronts helped me a lot when Id go back to CO through WYO. Ive seen guys make em out of cardboard, plastic ect. Mine was vinyl, snaps around the outside that secured it to the outside edge of the grill and a zipper in the middle that allowed a small triangle of the grill to be exposed. It covered 75% of the grill and allowed the engine to get up to operating temps quicker and maintain them. This was on a diesel. Without it, since it had the huge radiator the truck would never warm up.

Although the temps we had were only +6 F, the cold fronts really helped during those trips. Changing to the higher t stat was a seasonal occurrence.

Im sure we will see pics of the CF. BTW, how is the circ pump working out?
