Mopar makes a very nice cover.It goes behind the grill so that You don't see it and has 4 openings that You can open.It covers the whole area behind grill.It actually goes over the radiator and coolers.

Ive also seen that most come with battery blankets and extra goodies.

Diesel Engine Cold Weather Kit 82208721

However I cant find one for your year?

Well I did my 2nd gen 1st cause it just doesn't like to get warm like the 1st gen. Following? Anyway, tar paper for a template transfered to some vinyl siding from the house (old lady is ******), a rattle can and some loose bolts finished it. $12 bucks and a little time,

Like this?



I have some acrylic that would work for ya too, I could cut out to send ya

Hey thats pretty spiffy. I red some CTD forums for you, it looks like the BEST recommendation if you can is to buy the FULL cover from your local mopar.

dang it can't view ebay from work anymore. can someone post a pic for me please

 

[wermbang]

Here is another its was ziptied here but guy stated he switched to nuts and bolts

 

[ramhunter9]

Hmmm .. something cut out and bolted .. Luke can you make that

 

[wermbang]

Dave I have the black acrylic piece and can get it cut as I do have the chrome grille like yours. Just would need the zip ties/bolts to mount it


Edit: you posted same time but yes I can. I will try and do it soon. I have a 4ft piece so could cut a couple out.

 

[ramhunter9]

Is your material hard ? I dont want something flimsy ya know

Edit ,, that sounds bad

 

[ramhunter9]

Here is my grill now

 

[ramhunter9]

ya know what .. I have the old chrome grill in the garage .. I will just fab something up and bolt it to the inserts .

 

[wermbang]

It is ABS acrylic from bathtub liner walls. Got them from my cousin who owns a liner business. Says they stuff will be very durable, especially for the winter time cold. I was planning on using it to make me an insert but I found someone else to do it our of metal.

It feels flimsy but is very durable, I have both 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch, but the 1/8th is the better for this type of application

 

[wermbang]

That's cool I think I am going to make something for mine for the winter too.

LOL ,

The CTD needs to be up to temp before running . This will get you there quicker and keep cabin heat hotter . I will also be using my block heater , 2 battery blankets , and a trans heater .
