Just seen my first 2005 duramax he in AZ and it has a mush more open grill, I would guess this a possible cure for the overheating issues. They main center bar is hollowed out and the grid openings is much larger, other then that and the hood being a bit taller it appears to be the same.

I never knew there was overheating problems?

Certainly AC issues here in Texas.

From what I've read the 04's are having some over heating issues... Fan clutch seems to come on more frequently … related to 04 EGR and emissions changes…

I understand that the 04.5 LLYs are the ones running hotter than what we experience with the non cat, non EGR,LB 7s
