Hi guys,

Sorry for the stupid question, but I am trying to find a part for my 2009 Ram 1500.

I don't have a Dodge dealer in my town, but I stopped by the nearest one (but, of course, I wasn't driving my truck) to try to get this part, and the parts guy had no idea what I was talking about. If I can't find it on my own, I will have to find the time to drive my truck to the dealer, which is over an hour away.

Part of the problem is that I have no idea what it's called.

I am looking to replace the soft plastic, form-fitting shroud cover that sits in the front of the engine compartment, just on top of the radiator. If anyone knows how to install a Vararam, it's the part that you have to either remove or cut a chunk out of to allow the air-flow.

Here is a pic, with arrows pointing at it:





If anyone has an online link to buy this, or the name of this thing, or even has a part number for Dodge/Mopar, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

 

I can't believe how difficult it is to find the technical part name or number on this is.....dog gone radiator shroud cover thingy mabobber.....

 

moparpartsonline has this listing


It looks like this could be it 55057072AB
/ SIGHT SHIELD

 

Lol! Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. I did actually try to do a little research before I posted, believe it or not, but was unsuccessful.

 

wilest,

Thanks so much. I actually figured that it as well overnight, and that's what I found out too. Thanks again.

A bunch of the online parts stores say that part is discontinued, though, and have the part# 55057072AC, which seems to be the exact same part, but for the newer model years, and for some reason it costs around $120, while the AB model used to cost about $30. That makes no sense.

I did manage to find the cheaper version online. I will have to wait and see though until Monday, if they really have it in-stock, or their website is not up to date.
