The front sandwiches between the radiator and frame. You have to lift the radiator out of the holes and put it in place then the radiator posts drop through it. The back push clips to the frame.

Radiator-Lower Diffuser GM 25792391

Parts 4,9 and 12 are all essential for the radiator to operate effectively.

Thank you, good information. I'll have to look around as if I took this off I would have kept it but man it's not ringing any bells. Do you know does this part function to actually scoop air or create a low pressure zone behind it? If it is just to create a low pressure zone I could rig something up to work with my baffle plate. Otherwise I would need to get more creative. I currently don't have any heat issues but I don't want to hinder the function should I ever over-stress the cooling system.

As said above, used to push air up to the radiator.
The other seals keep the shroud from having leaks when the fan is pulling air through.

Is it angled or straight up and down?

it also helps create a more significant negative pressure area behind the radiator to help "pull" airflow through, which most people tend to overlook

+1, which is why it is located between the front and rear of the shroud

Put the 160 MPH SS dash in I purchased and now I don't have to look at the TPMS warning light as 07 didn't have them. I still get the warning in the Display but can easily get that off. Waiting for all 4 to fail so I can do them all at once. Nice that the BCM stores the mileage so I don't have to have that changed.

Not sure if i am going to change out the Lights... I kind of like the red.... looks Orange in the pic.

This happened while going WOT on highway ramp...I guess hot cold cycling and 21 PSI over 7 years took its toll on the plastic.



So I got this...Boost is a bit slower to build but IAT2 stays cooler. Time for some new MAPs and a new tune!

Replaced my 80K mile factory control arms with brand new arms that I had a local machine shop press Moog CABs into. I highly recommend different CABs as even brand new, the OE rubber felt like dog ****.

Easy install and a dramatic difference in steering feel, traction and stability at WOT. What's scary is that the passenger side literally fell out when I pulled it from the cradle.

Nice^^^^to anyone seeing that, Powell’s bushings are probably the best if money isn’t a concern. Just saying. He also has control arms with his bushings in them as well.
