Whats a winter front??

It's pretty rare to see one on a gas engine rather than a diesel, simply because keeping the radiator hot when it's very cold outside is not an issue like it is with the diesels.

I've never seen one on an Av in the 9-1/2 years I've owned mine.

You could use the old fashion pizza box tucked behind the grill...... I don't think they make them bit then again I've never looked.

A winter front covers the grill in extremely cold weather so that the engine stays up to temp and also have heat in the cab. I know of one company that makes a vinyl one with snaps and another that makes aluminum inserts, I'm hoping to see pics so I can decide which one I want.  Thanks for the replies.  Coach.

Yep, that's the brand I have on my Jeep and my F350, I just wanted to see what they look like on the avalanche.  It gets pretty cold here, -30 *F without wind chill.  Coach

At what air temp. does a "winter front" become necessary?

[coaches 04]

Yea I haven't had much luck finding pics that's why I was hoping to find a member that actually uses one.  As far as what temp it's needed, well that's subjective, I put mine on when it drops down to to 10*F or less.  Not everyone uses them but it definitely helps when driving down the road and it's cold out.  The pizza box works but I think it looks kinda tacky.  Coach
