When we were deployed to Goose Bay Labrador, in the winter, it was brutal. Just as cold as upstate NY tight off of Lake Champlain, and in those years we had 74 Chevy's, RCSB with 350's. We had wood mounted grid maps of an "area". We would put those grid maps in Front of the Radiator to try and get enuf heat to at least keep the friggin frost off of the Front Windshield.Back in my younger days,Chevy trucks with smallblocks in them would have a noticable amount more cylinder wear on the front cylinders on both banks,and it was from running down the road in the winter with nothing blocking the cold air coming through the grill. Those 2 cylindes always ran colder then the rest of the engine,especially at -30 or colder. A winter front helps equalize the engine temps in the winter. It's not quite as pronounced on the trucks with the shutters,but not all trucks have the shutters,and even with the shutters,it still might not be a bad idea,to have an external front to deflect the cold air around the truck.
The people on foot had lil gate shacks with a "propane" heater for warmth, and it also barely put out enuf heat to keep the frost off of the plexi-glass winders. MAKES me tailfeathers shiver to think of them cold days.
ADDED: Front Cover: Could the OP order an ED Winter Cover, since he has a 4th Gen, and they had the Winter Covers for the ED's???
