Grill guard/push bar

SavannahSilverado · May 16, 2021

I posted this in the general forum before I knew there was a special diesel club!

I've been trying to research grill guards (and a bump bar if pushed to that). Most of the ones I found say they are not for the 3.0 diesel. I can't quite figure that out unless it has to do with the block heater connector by the driver's side tow hook. I'd like to hear from anyone that got one installed and which one it was. Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but it might have something to do with the active shutters behind the grille.

I went from a 2018 Sierra 1500 5.3 SLT to a 2021 Sierra 3.0 AT4 two weeks ago. The 2018 had a Warn Ascent replacement front winch bumper w/Warn Evo 10s. I kept the winch when I traded it in, expecting to put it in a replacement bumper for the AT4. I can only find front bumpers for the 3.0 duramax w/o a winch mount.

I can’t even find a simple 2” receiver mount to use w/a cradle.

I don’t know this for sure, but I think the issues are a lack of space due to intercooler location and airflow to intercooler. Getting the diesel was more important than lack of bumper availability for me.
