on top of owning an 05 duramax that came with the taller hood, i also worked at a chevy dealer when the 03s, 04s, and 05s were new.
and back when i looked into buying a tahoe, it disappointed me to dig up where folks had tried putting the pickup taillights on them & they didn't fit.

The hood matches the grille so if you have an 06 hood but 04 grille it will not line up properly and look goofy.

This is oem hood 2500hd but grille doesn’t match what grille do I need this grill is for a 2500hd but the gap is my issue

this grille in pic is from Amazon and aftermarket says it will fit I think the previous owner may have changed the front clip to a newer body style like an 06 thoughts? And I think maybe a 1500 03 grille might be the answer?

yep: the 03 grille had a solid center bar, whereas the 06-07 (or 05-07 HD) had the split center bar.
