Hello, I've been reading around on different forums about removing the front bumper air dam and how fuel economy is affected. I have a 2017 Silverado Z71 with 1500 miles, and am just wondering if there is a noticeable gas mileage difference? I've read that pretty much everything GM does from the air dam to ecm tuning is to maximize fuel efficiency, but I am not sure how much effect they actually have? I've also read that resetting the ECM by doing a reboot (unhook negative terminal from battery) will reset the adaptive learning feature and help with transmission shift points and improve fuel efficiency but is this actually true? Will a reboot improve anything or will the adaptive learning eventually just take you back to the same shift points? The nature of this question is that it seems that coming out of turns or starting an up hill ascent the transmission doesn't seem to find the correct gear quickly. It also feels like I don't get the pep engine power I feel like I should be getting with 355hp and 383ftlb? I don't want to buy a tune and risk voiding my factory warranty. Any help or suggestions? Thanks
