I believe you are correct on the Eco Diesel model. Forgot to mention it in my last post.Pretty sure it's open on the ecodiesel models because the intercooler is behind it. No intercooler, no need for it to be open. My suspicion is that they designed it to be closed for better aero. Open grilles catch air and can affect fuel economy.
I seriously doubt you'll notice a difference in fuel economy. I'm sure they saw a difference in the wind tunnel during development so they made a decision based on that. Just like with the active air dam and active grille shutters. All of those items combined probably add up to about .5 mpg increase. But the bean counters are always trying to increase fleet fuel economy.I believe you are correct on the Eco Diesel model. Forgot to mention it in my last post.
Well I changed mine out for vented one so I could install a LED Bar. I'll find out if I have any changes.
HAHA yeah I doubt I will. The LED bar behind the grill looks really good as wellI seriously doubt you'll notice a difference in fuel economy.

A pic is usually provided when someone makes a claim like that.HAHA yeah I doubt I will. The LED bar behind the grill looks really good as well
I'll get a good one right now. The one I took the day I installed it was really blurry. Give me 5 mins to walk to my truck and back haha.A pic is usually provided when someone makes a claim like that.
Looks good, thanks for the pic. My only concern would be how to clean off the dead bugs at the end of the summer.Here’s a good one.
Yeah I’ve been thinking the same thing. Hoping power washing it works well.Looks good, thanks for the pic. My only concern would be how to clean off the dead bugs at the end of the summer.
Is that to clean the LED bar or for some other type of excitement on a Friday night? lolA little hydrogen peroxide and a shop vac squirt squirt suck suck
Would look better with an intercooler behind it....Here’s a good one.
OH definitely would. If only money wasn't an issue, this thing would be procharged already!Would look better with an intercooler behind it....
Ha, me too. And the fact that I've still not pushed it past half-throttle. Buuuut, a supercharger would look so good under the hoodOH definitely would. If only money wasn't an issue, this thing would be procharged already!
How hard of a job was it to just change the grille? Did you have to remove the bumper?I believe you are correct on the Eco Diesel model. Forgot to mention it in my last post.

Does anyone have the part number for the open lower grille?
