just driving down the road in summer can get u a load of bugs in the radiator area.
when i get a new(used) car i check it first,then add a piece of alum window screen
as a bug catcher. if it ever gets really full i just toss it and add a new one.
this could work for mud i suppose. it takes some messin to get it thru a grill slot and unwound but u cando with some effort. good job for someone with smaller arms than mine!


btw, in europe there is a study being done on just how many bugs are killed by cars!! seems the're concerned about enuf bugs for bird food! i know it sounds like the epa working overtime. rush says people simply out for a drive are now commiting "insecticide"
u killer u

 

Before you go pulling too hard and break something, there are actually (6) fasteners. (2) bolts and (2) nuts under the hood as well as the (2) in front.

 

interestingly enough you are both right.... some have 4 and some have 6.....

I have personally seen both.

 

I would love to know where the other 2 clips you guys are talking about is? Because of the hundreds of these that I sold and the 4 that I got here and am looking at rite now only have 4 clips, 2 on each side on the outside.

Are you talking about the clips behind the black grille support? These are not needed to be removed to take off the grille. That's the only thing i think that you could be talking about....

 

Not clips.....reread my post.....nuts & screws. (2) screws accessible from the front between the grill slots, (2) screws under the hood in the corners, & (2) nuts on threaded studs under the hood towards the middle section. At least this is how it is on my '08....possibly different for other years?

 

Sorry, I didn't read that rite. All years are the same including the H3T.

My first post says what your post said. I said 4 bolts, you said 2 nuts and 2 bolts. Where yours has bolts some had a threaded stud with a nut on it instead of a bolt. either way they all get removed with a 10mm socket.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

No prob....I just wanted to be sure 'Paladine71' didn't remove only (4) fasteners instead of (6), and start reefing on the grill thinking the only thing still holding it on were clips.

 

Thank you to all the experts...
After running all possible diagnostics etc... I came to a conclusion that the Gauge (Engine temperature clock on the dashboard) is inaccurate. I replaced it yesterday and so far it seems like the car is running fine and temperature level is slightly above the center of the gauge. next step will be to run a diagnostic again and make sure that the car is running on it's proper engine temperature. should it be 220 ? is that the ideal running temperature for the H3?

 

I want to throw up a "thank you" as well to both theBroken and Broken Halo for looking out for me. I'll see what my grill looks like from behind this weekend, if time and our heatwave permits. Should I be concerned that both guys offering advice have the word "broken" in their names???

 

Nah, both theBroken and Broken Halo might be pooh-pooh-Ka-Ka faces but t hey have some great knowledge of the HUMMER H3/H3T platform.
