Diesel bumper radiator support baffle? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DeadheadNM** · 06-13-2021, 07:58 AM

The new to me 99 6.5L diesel GMC Suburban has gaps in the “shroud” just inside the bumper air inlets. Should there be a baffle at these locations and if so does anyone have an example of the correct parts or part numbers? A factory diagram shows what look to be baffles. Thanks.

Yes, there are supposed to have baffles,my friends 98 has them,they are there to protect the pipes for the engine and trans cooler from rock damage I guess?

Thanks. Makes sense. If I can just get pointed in the right direction w example pics or part numbers that would be a huge help.

Probally a discontinued item and the aftermarket won't have anything because of low demand,best bet scour the yards,I am guesing any diesel from the 88- up C-K and suburban

Agree. It kills me as there are no yards near to me that I can wander with any burbs. I’ll scrounge around soon on a trip out west. These GMTs were everywhere in the yards in MT when I lived there. Sigh...
