I have a winter front, MOPAR behind the grill leather one, it works great. It has four adjestible flaps for varying temps. I know that with mine it definately allows the truck to warm up faster when it is on.

i dont know about you guys, but i dont have a winter front, no grille inserts, no nothing, and if plugged in and left to warm up for ten mins or so, shes good to go and thats at -25 celsius, or at least - 20 f and the ol girl is almost warmed right up by the time i get to work, which is only five minutes away, but i do have the winter package, but thats minor, just an engine blanket, and a block heater, i think thats all that it comes with, even sittin not plugged in, shes cranky but she fires right up, and is warmed up pretty quick

No welded on solid.....Yeah ya goof, of course they are. Two 'thumb screws' on either side of each insert. When it starts to get warm, I take two off and keep the other two...takes about 5 minutes to remove 2 of em....

well just to report back. I wanted to see if there was a difference. so I cut up some cardboard and put them in behind the "honeycomb" and I was definitley impressed with how qhickly it warmed up. definitly half the time. no difference when sitting at idle at warm up.
so it looks like I will be fabricating my own

I am going to try an build a guard for the bumper hole too. so if anyone has one of those I'd like to know how they mount

if anyone that has the inserts for a 3rd gen wants to make templates (paper copies)for me and send them to me that would be awesome. as the 3rd gen honey comb doesn't come off.
