    Default What is is called?

    2006 Suburban has a black piece of plastic below the bumper. I thought it was an air dam (its like a spoiler). Michigan winters are tough on these, especiallly when I hit snow in parking lots <g>. I checked some locations, and can't seem to find one.

    It must be called something else. I tried finding an exploded parts view, but can't seem to find one.

    Anyone know its proper name and where I might find one?

    I believe it is called an air deflector. Check out www.gmpartsclub.com and see if they have what you need.

    The term "valance" comes to mind, if it isn't an air dam.
