Front rubber mud guard thing

I am looking for a new one of those splash guards that is hanging under the front bumper. Anyone know where I can get one? Or even its actual name so I can search for it?

I'm not 100% certain that's the part but it seems like it should be right, partsguyed can probably confirm.

No, Im looking for the rubber flap that hangs underneath the truck. It is right behind the bumper to protect things from rocks and mud.

I misunderstood then, I thought you were looking for the piece dkf posted. Not sure what that part is called that you're looking for.

It's probably called an "air dam". I think it is to keep more air from under the truck to increase mileage. I don't think it has anything to do with keeping mud and debris out.

No the air dam is a piece of plastic that is attached to the bottom of the bumper and hangs down, the piece I need is wrapped around the bottom of the radiator/intercooler/transcooler and all that nonsesnse up there.

Shoot the parts guy a email. He is awesome. He had an email to me in like 3 hours with the right part number and link to purchase it. Plus I got the shipping email about 3 more hours later. He'll hook you up.

A little usless information about said part.....

That piece of rubber actually does alot more than what people think. Its there to help your radiator stay cool. One might not think so by looking at it but it actually stops the heated air that has passed through the radiator from being "recycled" and pushed back though by interrupting the flow of air that is pushed down by the engine block/oil pan. Its mainly for when the truck is parked and running and less for when the truck is in motion.
