Anyone know of any adjustable louver kits to adjust (limit) airflow to the radiator to improve engine warm-up in cold weather? Either manual or controlled from the cab would be ok. If not, I guess I just have to build one. Thanks for any replies. (Taking off and on the factory cover is a real pain!!!)

Supposed to be really cold here, so I put mine on. I only use the upper part, so it took about 2 minutes to put it in place. I have found that the lower not necessary, although this winter might prove me wrong.

I found a local supplier in Danbury , CT called CAP City.


They have the LUND cold fronts and the cost is $79.99 plus CT Sales Tax.


Mine will be in on Monday.........around $84.00 out the door http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif





Will post a PIC when I get it installed.

I have tried to find them(Lund Chrome) for the '04 GMC but no luck. Does anyone know if they have them for the new grill yet?

That is a Lund, but many companies are making fancy schmantzy flame, flag, etc. style cutouts for those not looking for maximum deflection.





Check out a Street Trucks or similar magazine...
