2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 Grilles

Understanding Chevy Silverado Grilles

Every vehicle needs a grille, and not just because they look good. Unlike the grille you use for a barbeque, although sort of the same concept, 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado grilles are important because they protect the engine bay. As a quick history lesson – the original automotive grilles were used to protect the engine bay from gravel and dirt that would kick up when driving on those old gravel and dirt roads. While grilles still do this today, especially if you plan on off-roading, they also serve another key purpose: Keeping the engine cool.p>   It doesn't matter if you’re looking at a 2015 Chevy Silverado grille or one from an older truck, they all serve the same purpose. Grilles are usually made with metal or plastic that have spaces to allow airflow into the engine bay. This is critical for your engine’s cooling system, which is why functional grilles are located right in front of the radiator and cooling fan.

Benefits of Chevy Silverado Grille Upgrades

Sure, the 2016 Chevy Silverado grille might look nice and perform well enough, but is it enough for off-roading? And what about some of the grilles on even earlier models? What we’re saying is that OEM grilles serve their purpose and that's about it. If you want to hit the trails, drive your truck through sandy conditions, or do any type of off-roading, upgrading your grille may be essential. For example, you can go with a mesh grille or more of a hex design if you’re worried about dust and debris getting in the engine compartment, but you still need to maximize airflow.p>   Another benefit of upgrading your grille is that it will allow more cool air to flow through the radiator to keep your coolant and engine cool. For long drives, this is helpful because it can improve fuel efficiency as your engine will perform better when it's running a bit colder. You may also notice a slight power boost if you’re used to your truck getting heat-soaked. Plenty of appearance upgrades are available as well. This will help you change the color or material of your grille to better match your style preference.p>   Whether you need a specific 2016 Chevy Silverado grille, or you just want to explore our extensive online catalog, you couldn't be in a better place.
