alan0043 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi Everyone, I was curious to know, did Volvo make a front spoiler for their trucks ? I was doing some maintenance on the front of my truck and noticed that there are tabs on the three pieces that make the front bumper ( gen 2 ) with about 3/8" wide slots. It looks like there was an optional piece that could be added to the front of the truck. Does a spoiler go there or something else ? Is there any web sites showing the parts that make the front of the truck ? Thanks for any help, Al Quote 2012 Volvo VNL 630 w/ I-Shift; D13 engine; " Veeger " Redwood, model 3401R ; 5th Wheel Trailer, " Dead Wood " 2006 Smart Car " Killer Frog " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastercraft Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Greetings - Its a three piece all plastic bolt on. There are two pieces that extend down from the frame area to stabilize the outer pieces. I fabricated my own as the Volvo parts must have been made of gold. I put one of these spoilers on and gained 3 MPG Kidding Rich Quote 2009 Volvo 780 D16 535hp 1850 ft-lbs I shift 3.36 Thermo King Tripac APU DIY Bed and Frame Extension ET Hitch, Stellar EC2000, EcoGen 6K 2002 F350 CC Dually w/ Lance 1181 2012 Mini Cooper S 2007 Teton Royal Freedom " The only place you will find success before work is the dictionary " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastercraft Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Sorry, I got the Volvo factory pieces from this outfit called DEX. They seem to have overstock items. You loose some approach ground clearance with them installed.

So far the other Google searches I have done on Volvo VNL spoiler/air dam has come up empty. That search was for the three piece bumper.

Al Hi Al, I tried "Volvo Vnl lower bumper air deflector" without the quotes. The words air deflector seemed to get better results than bumper extension. Maybe try that?
