does anyone know if there should be a flap on the drivers side in front of the radiator, to prevent road debris from entering the engine compartment. there is a flap on the passenger side.

There is one on both sides. The driver-side flap is a small one though.

Bernd seeing as we are already in that area anyway,I have a question if you dont mind.There is the radiator,then in front of it at the bottom is a smaller set off cooling fins and then in front of it is another smaller again set of cooling fins.I suspect trans cooler but why three units?I should know but I dont.

Come on Bernd...you know what Joe said.Joe's answer is right.The bad thing about the location of the trans cooler is ,that it get's hit with road objects...stones and ice etc.(Not covered by warranty)food for thought!

Ya mean "Amos and Andy". I remember seeing it when I was a small kid, but too far back to remember anything specific from the show. (Howdy Doody was also another show I used to watch.)

As for the dbl-posts, I think it seems to happen at mid-afternoon and late-night. The board doesn't appear to respond to the button so I pressed it again and viola...it posted...twice. (Go figure)

The GenII Dakotas have a thin metal tray that runs the full length of the radiator, has two opposing 'L' bends and attaches to the front cross member with a couple of screws and some adhesive.

I know b/c a tranny shop recently bent mine while "road testing" my truck after rebuilding the transfer case.

A handy person could probably fabricate something from sheetmetal.

Hey John,

2001 Quad cab Sport 4x4 in my garage. I too have the HD package, tow package, 4.7 and...no flap on the drivers side. Thought I'd add my two cents.
