Obviously there are some pretty darn smart and knowledgeable guys on here. At least lot more than me. I have 2019 Chevy Duramax, 6 sp Allison in it . I want to put a winch on it like I had on my 98 Dodge Cummins . It has been over 40 years since I had anything with an auto transmission in it.
Looking at some of the winch ready front bumpers on the market I don't want one like the Ranchhands that cover the entire grill.
This truck has an opening in the lower grill just above the air damn/spoiler.l. It is about 15" long and 5 " high. All the bumpers I have seen pretty much cover that opening up.
Here's is the question. Will a such bumper installed with a winch restrict the air flow into that cooler too much? Also any recommendations of which bumper to use.I would really like to keep bumper cost below $1500.
Any help would be appreciated
Have you looked at GM accessories for your truck? Pretty sure they wouldn't engineer something that would create a potential overheating problem due to airflow restriction. Would be surprised if they didn't offer a winch mount.
