I purchased an all-chrome plastic grille for my '03 Superduty from JC Whitney that looks exactly like the factory original except it's all chrome plated.

No instructions were included and I have no clue as to how to remove the old one and replace it with this one. The top fasteners seem self-explanatory, but the bottom ones are a different question. The body shop adjuster said he thinks I have to drop my front bumper to do it. That's out of the question for this old geezer with a bad back.

Can anyone tell me if this is correct, or how to do it?

Any links to a how to replace the grille?

Thanks.

 

I have an 01 and your grille should be the exact same as mine. The top has screws going across, take those out. To best describe the bottom, it has "posts" that just slide in. When taking mine out I just gave it a couple of even pulls and it came right off. Good luck with the install. So basically. Unscrew the top, and pull on the bottom and you are done.

 

No keepers on the bottom to pop off? That sounds simple. Thanks a lot.

 

There is four little tabs on the bottom. Look between the bumper and the grille and you will see them. Use a flet screw driver and push up on the tab as you pull on the bottom of the grille.
