There may be other reasons, but as far as I know, max trailering package trucks don’t get shutters. Mine doesn’t have them.

That explains that.  I have the Max Trailering package.

My 3.0 doesn't have that fin either. Looked at another 3.0 on dealers lot and it doesn't have it either. I wouldn't get too concerned about it as I think they come from factory that way.

by that pic it looks like the horns are mounted in the area where the fin is missing

Speaking of these, do they open in warmer temps? Mine have been closed so far.

Thought they all had shutters to shape the truck like an aerodynamic brick at high speeds. Have to look carefully through the front grille to see them edgewise; they are open when vehicle is stopped.

All of them do, but the trail bosses/AT4 dont.

in 2019 model year I couldnt get them optioned in the Trailboss. Maybe the salesman didnt know how to use the GM site well? 

He told me that the NHT (max trailering) does have them available (why would they even have them available?)

 

My Bad, thank you for bringing this to my attn. ill do a little more research,

No account yet, but 2020 Silverado with 3.0l Duramax here. Same issue; I noticed the other day that the top shutter on the passenger side was missing. Checked for damage thinking maybe it got knocked loose by an errant bug, but there was no damage to the plastic. I assumed it must have been deleted, and planned to check with the dealership about it. Glad to see that it was probably intentional, though I'm curious why. I am thinking it has to do with the location of the air intake plenum and how much air this thing inhales.

I have a 2024 with a Duramax 3.0L. It does have the active grill and is also missing on the passenger side. I’m beginning to believe it’s missing to keep the engine cool if they stick shut from a malfunction.

Blade missing in front of the horns is so horn sound is not reduced when shutters are closed. 

Most likely so DOT requirements are met for horn sound projection.

Just brought my `25 1500 with 5.3 home today. NHT package. No shutters here.

 

 

Correct.  I think NHT and then all VYU plow prep do not have shutters.  All others do.

Per GM

Sierra/Silverado Models equipped with upper and lower shutters, the top passenger-side louver/vane of the upper shutter is intentionally missing from the shutter assembly for airflow reasons. Do not replace the shutter for the missing louver/vane.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Another JR · Posted

      I went to order some PF63 oil filters from an on line GM parts source, and the blue PF63 oil filters seem to be getting phased out. They show the new part number as 19363567, which is a black colored AC Delco Silver product apparently marked PF63A. Some sites show a part number 12693541, which is a black colored AC Delco Ultragard Gold filter marked UPF63R.    I assume the UPF63R is the better one, but I’d be happy if I could just get blue PF63 filters I’ve been using.    Can anyone explain what is going on with the filter part number changes and any actual design changes?  Any other advice on buying OEM filters right now?  Thanks

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Will be attempting this sometime shortly and will likely make a youtube video out of it.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will likely be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A.   Here is my parts list: GM 84347199 - TC, Cargo Light, Exhaust Brake (useless to me unless I find a means to reconfigure), Aux 1 - 4. 12V 6 Way Pre-Wired Fuse Relay Box Kit with 4 x 40A 4-Pin Relays (link below - some mods required to make negative trigger)            https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F4KCS43B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Various wire sizes (12 AWG - red and black, 14 AWG, 16 AWG multi-colored bundle) Wire termination leads for X61A-X1 (unknown at this time) Crimp connectors/Soldering Gun Heat Shrink Split Wire Loom To be continued...    Cheers
