If that was true, along with the bed covers claim for mph, would gm just add bed covers stock?

Because the cover doesn't add much, if anything. The tailgate spoiler does though. Mythbusters proved several years ago that the tailgate down to reduce drag was a myth. Again, we're talking fractions of a MPG here and I doubt how much it benefits real world driving but that's what all its there for.

Driving sgyle effects MPG more than anything. I changed how I drive to class and over the 2 hour commute I gained about 2.5 MPG by the DIC

This is the most important factor.

When I get the new K2, not sure on Chvy or GMC yet, it will have the air dam and the rear wheel wind deflectors taken off asap. I don't care how many millions of dollars they spent to develop a useless $10 piece of plastic. Looks out of place and doesn't help enough to matter.

Thanks for the compliments guys...for now I am leaving the air dam on...will see how it handles our Canadian snow drifts! :freak:

 

I think your truck looks good. I'm leaving mine on as well.

I took the air dam AND bumper off my 2006 and replaced it with a 150 pound hunk of metal and it didn't affect mileage. IMO if you think it will look better you should go for it.

 

Your truck looks good Prdtrgttr.

Thanks for the kind words! I really do love this truck. Of my last 3 new crew cabs(05 LTZ, 08 LT, 14 LT, all Z 71's) this truck is hands down my favorite!
