Plastic trim under radiator.




While changing the oil yesterday I noticed what is probably some kind of air deflector installed all crooked from the factory. I tried to pry things back into where it looked like it should be but it was to stiff and I didn't want to take chance. So took it to the dealer today and that was a waste, the 20 year old mech told me it was a Styrofoam and not to worry about it. I expressed my opinion and left. I'm having problems finding a diagram that shows the right way to install it. I found one more truck on the lot with the same set up and it was all in crooked too, but different. It looks like the parts just aren't aligning at the factory during install. The part number I found on it is JL34-8B407-AH. It seems to run from the front bumper to under the radiator support. Does anyone know where to look for proper installation? There are tabs on one side that seem to go under the frame, while the rest goes on top. But I'm not sure. There are two more tabs that cant be seen on top of the frame.

I've seen a lot that are that way. It's underneath so it doesn't stand out, but yeah looks goofy.
