To day I gutted the front of my suburban to make room for an intercooler.
Pulled the A/C condencer, nonworking horns, transmission cooler and a thin sheet metal support.
Turns out these trucks have a perfect place for a set of those broil master grill shutters. 15x30 with about 2.5 inchs of depth for shutter movement.

I can pretty much forget about putting that 03 duramax intercooler in there with out hacking up and rewelding it and then I would also have to re-do the entire front end.
Also If I want to use the dmax intercooler it would be easier if I got a 01 to 05 dmax radiator to go with it.

Guess I will sell it and find something that will fit now that I know the measurements I have to work with.
