Radiator Shield, Shop Protector, Duramax | 2001-2026

The Merchant Automotive Radiator Shield protects the radiator from accidental damage while you work on the front of the engine. One slip of a wrench or ratchet can puncture the core or bend a patch of fins and turn a routine job into a radiator replacement. This 24.5" x 33" shield is made from 24-gauge galvanized steel. It hangs on the radiator by its smooth, uniform lip, covers the core while you work, and comes off in seconds when you're done. It is compatible with all years of Duramax radiators, including 2001-2026 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD trucks, 2020-2026 Silverado and Sierra 1500 trucks with the 3.0L Duramax, and 2006-2016 Chevy Express and GMC Savana vans with the 6.6L Duramax.
